Personalized Candy Bar Wrappers

My friend Mary Newton aka LadyOz asked me to write a tute telling how I created the personalized candy bar wrappers I had told her about.
So the first thing I did was go to my friends Sharon Jenkins and Mary Bergen who had gotten me started in the first place.
With their guidance I have come up with some simple (I hope) instructions.
The candy bar was made from a tute I found at Angie's Art Thanks Angie.
Sharon has some wrappers ready for you to print out. Mary has just written her first tutorial and you can find it here.

This tutorial was done with PSP7

but could be done with other versions.

	YOU WILL NEED
	Paint Shop Pro Download a trial version here Wrapper Templates .zip file Basic knowledge of vectors and layers
	Remember to SaveOften
1.	Lets Begin
	Unzip the templates template-Hershey-plain fits the 1.55 ounce plain Hershey bar template-Hershey-almond fits the 1.45 Hershey with Almonds bar Each template has two wrappers fits on a standard sheet of paper Open the template of your choice Shift + D to make a duplicate image Close the original File/Save As: wrapper.psp
2.	Decorate As Desired
	I use separate layers for each item so I can arrange them easier Notice the glue here. You can use glue or double stick tape This is not on the template just put it here to remind us where to glue Once you are happy with your wrapper, merge the layers
3.	Page Set Up
	File/Page Setup Make sure Landscape is checked and that Scale: 100 Also make sure Fit to page is NOT marked
4.	Changing The Resolution For Sharper Printing
	I used the Hershey with Almond Template here so if you are using another one you need to adjust the numbers to match The template was done at 72 dpi and is 703 x 369 pixels Mary suggests printing at 200 dpi for a crisper print. She also prints on photo paper for glossier wrappers. Images/Resize and tick the radio button in front of Actual / Print Size Write down the size in inches and make sure Resize all layers and Maintain aspect ratio are both checked Enter 200 in to the Resolution Box... the program will then tell you that at that dpi the size of your graphic will be 3.515 x 1.845 inches Change the 3.515 to the 9.765 figure and the 1.845 will automatically become 5.126 Click OK. Voila... You now have much clearer cleaner text in the smaller sizes Keeping in mind that even at the 1953 x 1025 size it will still print out exactly the same size as the 703 x 369
5.	Print
	File/Print Preview to see how it looks Ctrl + P to print it out Cut out and replace the brown wrapper with your beautiful new wrapper.
