MAKING YOUR OWN GLITTER FILES

STEP 1: GETTING THE PROGRAMS AND FILES NEEDED

Go here and download a free trial version of PSP 8 and the resource packs
http://www.jasc.com/products/trialreg.asp?pid=k-psp8-usdir

Go here and download a free trial version of Animation Shop
http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=Corel3/Downloads/Trials



Once you've installed the above programs... click on this link to install the filters. I saved it to my Received Files folder. Then opened it and copied the VisMan folder to C:/Program Files/Jasc Software Inc/Paint Shop Pro 8/Plugins

http://www.photoshop-filters.com/downloads/visman/visman.zip


To see what these filters do go to: http://www.photoshop-filters.com/html/visman.htm


http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=Corel3/Home
Click on Communities here you get your picture tubes. They will go in your PSP Picture Tubes file.



I haven't had any trouble with spyware/popups from downloading these trials.


These 2 programs and files are what you will use to make your glitter files.

STEP 2: MAKING A SIMPLE GLITTER FILE

If your tools toolbar isn't showing, Click on View: Toolbars: Tools
