Angled corners, windowblinds?
Monday, April 26, 2004 by Richard Mohler | Discussion: Skinning
I've noticed alot of windowblind skins have angled corners and I was just wondering how they do it. I have paint shop 8 and I can make a rectangle or square but I was just wondering how to make the corners angled, like 45 degrees or less. Just curious how it's done. I'm real new to this, so I don't have a clue how to do this or even if it's possible with this program. Let me know, Thanks, Richard

In order to make angled lines, I make a new layer that I draw a rectangle in, then I the line tool and set it to take away from that layer, and make it really wide. Then I hold down the shift key while I draw it which forces the line to mulitples of 45 degrees. I hope this helps. Thats how I do it on photoshop 6, but the idea should be similar to psp.

In PSP you want to use your line tool, or your Select tool and cut it out.
