Many months ago I decided to make a Personal Web Page and thought to myself all I need
to do is download a free background, bar and a few buttons to match. I spent many, many hours
searching for just the right combination, however, nothing seemed to match the animated logo I created.
After a while the animated logo didn't look all that great to me. It seemed that the really killer web pages
were created with a graphic program like Photoshop and unfortunately it didn't fit into my budget.
I noticed during one of my many searches that many sites were using Paint Shop Pro, a shareware program
offered by JASC, Inc. They offer a 30 day free trial that doesn't expire on the 31st day. If the program
works for you the licensed program can be purchased for $99.00 (this price includes Pixel 3D). If you
don't have a copy of Paint Shop Pro shareware download it now. JASC Software
There are so many helpful tips on the internet to create special effects with this program.
However, after working with Paint Shop Pro I decided to design a few more bordered backgrounds.
I hope that my background tutorials give you a few ideas of your own.
Before you try any of my tutorials you may want to check out The Filter Factory for a
large selection of shareware Plug In Filters that work well with Paint Shop Pro.
I also use several of them for my tutorials. If you don't have these filters, download
them now. Filter Factory Galleries.
