Finding just the right photograph to use on your website or print materials can be difficult. Sometimes the photograph is damaged beyond repair, and sometimes there are copyright issues. Sometimes the photograph contains elements you would like to remove or simplify. Why not use that photograph to create a line drawing in Paint Shop Pro? A line drawing is always your own work, and creating line drawings is a quick and easy way to fix otherwise irreparable problems in photographs. Still, you'll need a steady hand to complete this task. A stylus is also helpful.
An original image of a lily flower.

The image of a flower with the sections outlined in black.
Click View > Palettes > Layers. Select the new layer, which is named Raster 1 if you selected the default value. In the materials palette, select black. Trace the objects within your scene using the paintbrush tool. Be sure to trace each distinct area of color, not just outside shapes. Ensure that each section is completely enclosed by the black lines. Your image will look something like a paint by number when you are finished.
