    Settings should be :

Click for Larger Image

Size- ANY -I am using 200x290 Pixels for the tutorial since this is the size picture being used in glittering part of a picture coming later.
*Be sure Transparent is checked.

3: Click on Flood Fill Tool (Looks like a tilted paint can)
If your tools toolbar isn't showing, Click on View: Toolbars: Tools

4: Now choose your color and click on the picture until it's completly covered (all the white and grey squares gone).

I used #C70912 for this tutorial. By clicking on the swatch(square that is red in the image above) a window will open where you can type in the #.

5: Click on Edit then click on Copy. Now Click on Edit again and click on Paste as New Image. Repeat
Click on Window and Cascade.
You will now have 3 copies of the image

Click for Larger Image

6:  Click on Image Copy 1. Now Click on Adjust. Then, click on Add/Remove Noise. Now click on Add Noise

Click for Larger Image

For Copy 1 I used Random 50% Monochrome checked

7: Click on File. Then, Export. Then, JPEG Optimizer.
Be sure Chroma Subsampling is set to none
Click OK and save as Image 1. You can close copy 1 you are done with it. Save Changes to Images 1, 2, 3  when you close  to use in step 4

Click for Larger Image

8: Repeat Step 6 and 7 Using Image Copy 2 and saving as Image 2
For Copy 1 I used Random 70% Monochrome checked

9: Repeat Step 6 & 7 Using Image Copy 3 and saving as Image 3
For Copy 1 I used Random 90% Monochrome checked

Now you have the 3 images that you need to make the glitter.


You can close Paint Shop Pro.
