Paint Shop Pro (PSP) tubes for those that are not familiar with the term are partially transparent images.. meaning basically that they sit on a transparent background and can be manipulated any which way. Almost like an image "stamp". You can resize, colorize, twist, turn and basically manipulate in any manner you can imagine. You can create wonderful effects by layering the images upon one another. They are made to go with the graphics program Paint Shop Pro, by JASC. If you are interested in this program you can actually download a 30 day trial version from their website: http://www.jasc.com

The images nicknamed "tubes", for their .tub extension name are vibrant images that can be used to create stationary, business cards, web graphics, email stationary, cards, email sigs, among countless other uses. Paint Shop Pro is a very user friendly, easy to learn and relatively inexpensive powerful graphics program. *** Images are saved with a .psp extension so they can be converted to other programs. Simply right click on the image and open with PSP and save as a .tub if you wish to put them in your "tubes" folder.
