Rainbow
This tutorial will show you how to make a rainbow in Paint Shop Pro. If you don't want to follow the tutorial, I have a rainbow script that I released two years ago.
1. Open up a new canvas that is the same width and height. My canvas is 1200 x 1200.
2. Use the custom selection tool to create a 1200 x 100 selection across the bottom of the canvas.
Left = 0
Right = 1200
Top = 1100
Bottom = 1200
3. Fill the selection with the color, gradient or pattern desired for one band of the rainbow.
4. Use the custom selection tool to create a 1200 x 100 selection above the previous selection.
Left = 0
Right = 1200
Top = 1000
Bottom = 1100
5. Fill the selection with the color, gradient or pattern desired for one band of the rainbow.
6. Repeat step 3 and step 4 another 3 more times for a rainbow with 5 bands. I have included screenshots of the custom selections for each repeat.
Left = 0
Right = 1200
Top = 900
Bottom = 1000
Left = 0
Right = 1200
Top = 800
Bottom = 900
Left = 0
Right = 1200
Top = 700
Bottom = 800
7. Ctrl + D to Select None.
8. Use the Polar Coordinates effect (Effects > Distortion Effects > Polar Coordinates) to create a circle out of the selections.
Rectangle to polar = Checked
Edge mode = Transparent
9. Crop the canvas to half the size of the original. Choose the upper half of the canvas.
The rainbow is now complete.
Thank you SOOOOOO much!!!!! ♥
