Easy Chain

I wrote this Tutorial. Any similarities to other Tutorials is completely coincidental.


Okay here we go!!!

1st open a new image


500X500 pixels ,Background color a medium color ,300,000 dpi.

Go to Preset Shapes and choose the Elispe
line width 8
anti-alias and create as vector both checked.


Go to Layers new raster layer.Make oval about 3/4 to 1 inch long or whatever shape you want.

Then zoom in so you can see what your doing.
Take the Selection tool then freehand Selections

Then hit the delete key on your keyboard.Then go to selection / select none.
Then Merge / merge down. Then right click this layer and repeat the last 3 steps.Keep repeatting until you have it the size you want. You can use pretty any round or oval shape and you can also shape it with the warp tool. You can also resize to make it smaller , just remember when making smaller always go to Adjust/Sharpness/Sharpen.
