I am new to this Raven&#39;s <span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 204);">Paint Shop Pro.  I would like to know where I can learn how to make a floating banner like

would like to use it in my web site.  I hope I am explaining myself correctly.  I am new at psp x2 ultimate.  Thanking... ]]></description>

<br>
<br>
I know how to use tubes.
<br>
<br>
What I&#39;d like to be able to do is use it in such a way where I can pick and choose.  Let me clarify.  I have a tube with flowers(a few actually) the
problem is that each tube has four flowers in each set(example daisy, rose, violets and sunflowers).  How do I set that tube(or other tubes) to use just one
flower (or object) at a time from that set or is that even possible??? ]]></description>

			<link>http://ravenspaintshoppro.yuku.com/topic/5188/t/Cloning-tool.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ I may be the last to know this, but I just discovered that the cloning tool can function between layers and even between other (open) images. You can
right-click to capture the desired area from one layer and then left-click to start the cloning on a new layer in the same image or in a new image. Guess it
makes sense, since the clone tool basically copies and pastes, but this is an easy way to combine elements, e.g., between two photos.

If you can&#39;t find a frame that&#39;s just right for your image, here&#39;s a way to make one from the image. It&#39;s easy, fast (a couple of minutes) and
matches the colors and image size exactly.

			<description><![CDATA[ Can anyone give me a tip on how to smoothly straighten the red line on the following picture?
<br>
In reality, of course, it is a horizontal line - a curved one since the organ is built into a semicircular alcove, and the telephoto has put a lot of curve
into the picture too.  I can make the columns vertical, but it ends up looking silly with the column capitals at a 30 degree angle.
