How to make plaid from any image
Did you know that you can turn any image into a plaid? I know, right? AWESOME! All you need is any version of Paint Shop Pro and any image that has more than 2 colors in it. So, here’s how you do it:
1. Open a new image, white background, 1 x 200 pixels
2. Open your starter image and select any area 1 x 200 pixels
3. Copy that selection and paste it into your 1 x 200 white image, as new layer
4, Merge layer flatten
5. Resize image 200 x 200, resize all layers, maintain aspect deselected, resize type: pixel resize
6. Duplicate layer. Set opacity at 50%
7. Image>rotate layer 90 degrees left or right, rotate all layers deselected
8. Merge all layers and you’re done!
Here’s another plaid I made, and the image I started with. You can see, the possibilities are endless.
