Picture Tubes

The picture tube is a unique feature of PSP that can be used to easily create an image. PSP contains some picture tubes that have been included with your software. Many PSP users create and offer free picture tubes on their websites. As you gain more PSP experience, you can create your own picture tubes as well.

First you will need to open a new image by selecting File-->New from the Menu bar. Click here to view the image settings that you need to use. Click the OK button after doing this.

Locate the picture tube tool on your toolbar. Because the toolbar is customizable, it may not be located in the same spot as the one in the image at the left, but it should look the same. You can confirm that you have the correct tool by hovering your mouse over the picture tube icon. If you have the correct icon, you will see that the tooltip says Picture Tube. Click on the Picture Tube icon to select it.

Now hold your mouse over the center of your image and click the left mouse button. A picture should appear.



You haven't chosen a picture, so the picture you will get will not be predictable. Do you wish you had a different picture? Is your picture tube too big or too small for the image? Check back tomorrow to learn more.
