You may want to duplicate
(Shift D) and close original.
I left a background layer.
You may want to flood fill to help you see better. You can delete
this layer before merging.
Select the fills you would
like to use. Click on the image and drag over to PSP workspace.
You can copy and paste as a new image, but I prefer the drag method.
NOTE: I created these fills
for use with my tutorials. You may use on web pages, but do not offer
for downloads anywhere.
