We are on image 7_2, on layer : h1.
Open a new Vector Layer. Name it : island OK.
Foreground : Close.
In background, choose this green #00c000. OK
With PEN Tool, choose : Draw Point to Point - Bezier Curves.
Connect Segments, Create on Vector, Nodes Show: Checked.
Antialias: Checked
Draw an island of this size roughly.
Click and release, click and release... creating nodes as you go
and : Close selected open contours by clicking on this icon.
To move a node.
Select a node (you will see 4 small arrows)
While holding down the click, move the node.
Note: the node is an empty square. It must be empty to be moved.
It can happen, inadvertently, to select all the nodes and they then
become full.
The most frequent mistake is to click twice on a node.
(Which is not an error in itself.)
To Select None
with all versions of Paint Shop Pro.
Choose : Object > Edit> Select none.
With PSP X1 :
Right click on the image. Choose: Edit > Select none.
To round an angle.
With all versions.
Click on a node when you see the 4 small arrows.
Click on Objects > Node Type >
Currently: we are on: Cusp. (angles)

Choose: Node Type.
Currently: we are on: Cusp. (angles)
Choose: Asymmetry.
An arrow goes through the node.
With the ends, two small curved arrows.
By holding the click down on the two small curved arrows
we can move the node in all direction.
When the front arrow is moved, the back arrow follows.
To find the angles on a Asymmetry Node.
With all versions.
Click on the node. Objects > Node Type > Cusp.
With PSP X1 :
Right click on node > Node Type > Cusp.
Thus, the movement of the front arrow is independent
of that of the back arrow.
It is still possible to move each
nodes and modify the curves.
To change the name of the layer, New Path/New Shape.
Click on the + sign.
Double click on it. Name it : grass.
Here we could change the color.
The remainder stays the same. OK
Once finished.
With all versions.
Right click on the layer : grass and choose : Select none.
With PSP X1: Choose the icon, Apply.
On the layer: island, click on the minus sign.
We thus have 5 Raster layers and one Vector layer.
A Vector layer is modifiable at any time.
Example : to find your nodes.
Select PEN Tool.
Open the layer : island, by selecting +
Select the layer: grass, find the nodes and modify them.
Once finished.
With all versions.
Right click on the layer : grass and choose : Select none.
With PSP X1: Choose the icon : Apply.
Click on the minus sign.
We do not convert a Vector layer to Raster layer if
we still want to modify it.
