Supplies you will need:
An image. Now I am using this jpg image but
you may use another. This is an image Tinkerbell.
Just click on the image to view the full size
and download. Open up your image in PSP, use
shift D to copy and then close out the original.
Now if you use another image you may need to do
this step (for the one supplied you can skip
down to the next). If your image is in gif
format, which many of the coloring pages on the
web are, or if you go to color it and it will
only do black and white then you need to
increase the color depth. You do this by
going under colors and scrolling down to the
bottom where it says "Increase color depth" and
change it to 16 million.
