In this tutorial I am only showing "HOW" to get those pesky "TIF" images ready to paint or ready for Stained Glass. Here is mine done in Stained Glass.
Items you will need for this tutorial:
1. The "TIF" image that is in the download.
3. My Super Blade Pro Silver Presets if you want to make your image into a Stained Glass Window like I did.
Skill Level I believe is any skill level.
Step 1:
Open the TIF image in PSP and make a copy of it by typing Shift-d at the same time.
Step 2:
Resize the image to about 85%
Step 3:
Go Image/Increase Color Depth RGB 8 Bits/channel.
Step 4:
In your Layer Control Box double click on the word Background to make it into a Raster layer.
Step 5:
Make your Magic Wand the active tool and click anywhere on the black lines. Then go Selections/Modify/Select Color Range.
Make the color block black if it is not already black. Use these settings
Step 6:
Go Selections/Modify/Expand and type in the number 1.
Step 7:
Make your foreground color black and then make your "Airbrush" the active tool and spray all black lines.
Step 8:
Your image is now ready for you to Paint or make into a Stained Glass image.
This completes this tutorial and I hope you enjoyed doing it as much as I have in creating it.
