For those of you who don't know what tubing is, it is removing the background from a picture or piece of artwork. We do this so we can use the main image in other ways. I only do this with work from artists that allow this kind of activity...

Notes about tubing:

I resave the original image as a PSP document. (.psp or .pspimage)

Then, I convert the layer to raster.

I use freehand selection tool.

Set Tolerance to 20 - 50 - (I use 30)

Set Feather to 2.

Zoom in on where you want to start tubing and take small steps around the image. I do in stages and zoom out so I can get get my bearing on the image...

I also add a rastor behind the original image, usually in bright green or bright pink, so I can see if my tubing is clean as I go.

I save, then resave to compatible to PSP 7 so other people can use it...
