This method uses the extraction tool available in Photoshop CS2 (I’m not sure if it’s available in Photoshop CS, but it won’t be available in any version prior to this). Unfortunately, unless other softwares contain this tool (I don’t know of any that do), the tutorial will only be geared to those who own Photoshop CS2 upwards.

Before we get into Photoshop I’m going to present to you an idea of what layers are about. If we take a layer of thin glass, and paint a pattern onto it, we can think of it as a single layer! Here you can see that we’ve painted a nice red rectangle onto our sheet of glass. If we put a paint a second (new) sheet of glass with a green circle on it, and place it over the first sheet, where we haven’t painted will show through the second sheet of glass (i.e. we will see the red square).

I’m using Paint Shop Pro 8, but I know this feature is still in later versions. Ever tried Balls and Bubbles? They’re fun! Here are the easiest beads (or round candies if you’re so inclined) I know how to make. Start by opening a new raster image of 100 pixels. At 200 dpi this is going to make you a half -inch bead, scale-able as are all your picture tubes. Now go to Effects, Artistic Effects, Balls and Bubbles: When the options box opens, choose the “Gold Ball” preset, and select Single Ball and Maximum possible size.

In the case of a strand of beads, however, I would want it to have no extra space, so that it will rest up next to the bead on either side of it. So get rid of the extra space by selecting it and cropping to selection.
