Re: How to draw lines of rivets in PSP?
Well I tried the lines using the "shapes" (as suggested in this PSP guide) in my Photoshop Elements, and I actually prefer it to using a brushed line. So on that count I'll say PSP wins, and I may use shapes for panel lines on my next project. I figure I can just copy the finished shape layer and simplify the copy, from there treat it as normal.
Now for the rivets. I was doing some quick tests in Elements, and found that painting (with a one pixel brush) using a one pixel size checkerboard "pattern" comes close to making the same rivet effect as brush spacing.
Try a test by defining a custom one pixel checkerboard pattern, and using it as your brush paint to see what kind of results you get.
Another option that may be useful, text on a curve. Just make a row of periods .............. then assign them along a custom text path to form them as rivets. My PS Elements doesn't let me custom assign a text path like PSP does, so PSP will be ahead on this.
