The pictures I used for this lesson are from BeverlyLu.
She gave me permission to use them in my tutorials.
Please take a look at her site http://www.beverleylu.com.

A pretty picture of a landscape or seascape.
unzip this bmp in your Pattern folder of PSP.
unzip this selection in you selection folder of PSP.
