The fuzzle is now complete using EC7 with PSPX7 64bit. All it requires is a little bit of
dressing up.
This is what I did with the fuzzle shape I created.
I duplicated the image and moved the
duplicated layer to the left side tilting it with the Pick tool set to scale. I dragged the
image to the right to sit on top of it. The appearance is a seam in the centre as shown in
the image on the right.
Page 15
I used these images; Edit, Copy and pasted onto an Ostrich image. With the Pick tool set
at Free (Shift) I adjusted the feathers to cover the Ostrich's feathers. With the Push brush
lengthen a few feathers.
Give it a try and see what YOU come up with. All for just a little fun.

I am including these fluffy balls or puff balls because they are
made in a similar way to the fuzzles. The technique and
instruction is owned by Shonna who is a frequent member of

thank you for allowing me to add to this tutorials.

3. Open Effects, KPT, FiberOptix.
4. Click on this button to open the Presets panel.

You can click on any one of the presets to either change colour or a slightly different style.
There's no need to change any of the settings when using a preset. Click the Tick button
to return to PaintShop Pro workspace.
