Supplies: X-mas Candle (PSP Script) by Lise-Lotte Sunesen. You can buy it here.
Subject: How to use a PSP script including tips to make it as easy as possible.
1. Find lhsCHRISTMAScandlewithpearls among your PSP scripts.
2. In this script the foreground material creates the candle and the background material (along with the foreground material) creates the pearls.
I used a solid color for the candle part and a pattern for the pearls.
3. To make running the script as easy as possible for you make sure to set the script to run in automatic toogle mode.
To do so make sure the box showed above is not selected. That way you don´t have to click more than once, when running the script.
4. Now run the script by clicking on the triangle button.
It is right next to the script name.
5. With the more “heavy” scripts it can sometimes be a bit confusing to see, when the script is actually finished. Just check in the script line (also shown above), if the red x button shows. If it does, the script is still running.
6. When the script is finished the candle still needs to have a flame added. You do that by browsing your psp tubes and find the “Fire” tube.
7. Add a new layer to your candle and put a flame to it with the fire tube. Since you have added it as a new layer, you can easily move the flame to the wanted position.
8. Your candle is now finished, and you can save it in your prefered format. Just remember to chose one that allows transparant background.
