A really easy way to get selective coloring is to make a copy of the image so that there are two layers, make the top image black and white, and then simply erase the parts of the black and white that you want colored. So the steps for that are:

1. Open the image
2. Duplicate the layer by going to Layers>Duplicate
3. Now you want to turn the top layer black and white. This can be achieved with the Colorize option. In PSP 9, I believe it is Adjust> Hue and Saturation> Colorize. Make both the hue and saturation value 0.
4. Then the top layer should be black and white
5. Then take the eraser tool and erase the parts that you want the color to show through.

Lemme know if any of this was confusing

I just wrote my first tutorial, so for all you fanart makers, please try it out and I hope it helps!

You can find it right here. It's made in GIMP, so it should be translatable to other programs.

Hi guys, I'm Tal
I'm new to Paintshop Pro (I just bought the Paintshop Pro X2) and was wondering if anyone knew of tutorials for those of us who have absolutely no experience with this software? I want to make blends, etc., but trying to follow a tutorial is hard when the basics aren't completely down yet. I purchased a book to go with the software, but I'm still coming up short. lol
Any help would be greatly appreciated. you guys all create such beautiful work that has inspired me to give this a hand

Thanks Tina. Do you know of any tutorials with an explaination of the layers process? I looked around a bit and couldn't find one on that. I think that is what I am having the most trouble with.
