The ZDU PSP Class

I used the Lasso Tool, Smart Edge to cut out the buildings. I copied the selection and pasted it as a new layer into a new window. I applied a Chisel effect and a dropshadow. (Oh, and I cropped and enlarged the results).



This animation is an interesting effect but looks much better when done with twenty frames rather than eleven as this one was. For full instructions on how to create this effect please see Paint Shop Pro 4.12 Filter Animations (The effect also works well in PSP 5). :)


The original for the logo was done with a background gradient fill, Layer 1 with the opposite gradient fill. The text was added with floating unchecked, and the layer moved slightly down and to the right before the text was deselected. A negative drop shadow was added. Layer 2 was added, an oval selection made on it. Layer 1 was activated and copied, Layer 2 reactivated and the selection pasted into the oval. Layer 2 was then resized to 25% and moved down to the bottom of the "S" was added.

The transparent logo was created by using the Lasso Tool, Smart Edge, to select the desired area of the original. The selection was pasted as a new layer into a new window. The chisel effect was applied and then a drop shadow.
