Many picture tubes come with the Paint Shop Pro application and even more are available on the CD. You can even find thousands of free picture tubes on the Internet. In most cases, Paint Shop Pro automatically reads the picture tubes, provided that you copy them to one of the locations specified in File, Preferences, File Locations. Sometimes however, you might want to save your own files as picture tubes.

NOTE

See Appendix B, "Exploring Useful Web Sites," for some tube sites.

There are a few rules to follow when you're creating picture tubes:

• The image must have a color depth of 24 bit (16 million colors).

• The image must be on a single raster layer.

• The background of the image must be transparent.

• If your file has multiple images on it, the items should be symmetrical in position, dividing the canvas space equally between the items. Paint Shop Pro saves picture tube files in a row and column pattern.
