Here is a quick way to create textures in paint shop pro 9
Ok 1st we create a blank image so click on new image icon and size it 256*256 pixels
We will have a white background then click Ok..
Next click on effects menu then texture effects then textures...
You should have a screen similar to the screenshot, I chose concrete for this example by clicking the arrow that I have circled, I then chose another colour by clicking on the colour square I have circled! Clicking on the proof icon under the previewed texture that looks like a human eye, will put your results in the new image real time! Which is pretty handy.. Right so we have a concrete type look, you can mess around with the params underneath to get a different look,best way is to click on the random icon(dice icon under the preview) to appreciate these parameters!) but I am happy with this so I click ok.. Next I am gunna use this created image to get all crazy!!
