open new image 500 x 500 transparent 16.7 million colors
Save as lantern.psp
(this is large but you can resize later)
All selections will be on a separate layer.
|
| I name each layer by the name
of the .sel file but you can do as you like. It makes it easier for me
to remember which layer is which. In this tutorial you do everything
as you go so you don’t really have to name them.
Remember to SAVE OFTEN!!
