This tutorial is written in PSP 9 but can be done in most versions.

You will need my zipfile with my selections.

_________________________

Let's get started unzip the selections into the selections folder. Open a new image 800 x 800.

Set your foreground color to #6a4e42 and your background color to #977961

New rasterlayer name it front. Go to selections -> load/save selection -> Load selection from disk and select cs-front. Floodfill this selection with #6a4e42, load new selection cs-infront and floodfill with #977961, deselect.

Go to Effects -> artistic effects -> sepia toning -> amount to age : 35

New raster layer name it door. Load selection cs-door floodfill with #6a4e42. Load selections cs-indoor and floodfill with #977961. Deselect. Apply the same sepia effect as before. Next go to Effects -> 3D effects - innerbevel and apply these settings

New rasterlayer name it windowsil. Load selection cs-wins and floodfill with #6a4e42. Deselect, load cs-wins1 and floodfill with #977961. Go to selections -> float, then Effects -> 3D effects -> cutout and apply this setting shadowcolor : #6a4e42.

Deselect. Load cs-wins2 and floodfill with #6a4e42. Apply the same sepia toning as before.

New rasterlayer. Load cs-deurhengsel and floodfill it with #000000. Deselect. New rasterlayer name it blur1. Load deurhengsel2 and floodfill with #FFFFFF. Go to Adjust -> Blur -> Gaussian blur -> radius : 1,00. Deselect.

New rasterlayer name it doorknob. Load cs-deurknop and floodfill it with #000000. Deselect. Load cs-deurknop2 and floodfill it with #404040. Go to Effects -> 3D effects -> Innerbevel and apply this setting

Deselect. Load cs-deurknop3 and floodfill it with #000000 and apply the same innerbevel. Deselect.

New rasterlayer name it roof and load cs-roof and floodfill it with ##4e433f. Load cs-roof2 and floodfill with #917f79. Now we going to shade the roof step by step.

Grab your magicwand and select 1, go to selections and click float then go to Effects -> 3D effects -> cutout and apply this setting shadowcolor : #4e433f.

Repeat this for 2,3,4,5. Load cs-roof3 and floodfill with #4e433f.

Apply Sepia toning : 15

New rasterlayer name it flowerhook. Load cs-bloemenhaak and floodfill it with #000000 and apply an innerbever with these settings

Nearly there ! At this point you can leave your shed as it is but it still looks to smooth to me. So we going to shade our front like we did with the roof. Select one by one the woodenboards and apply this cutout setting with the same shadowcolor as above.

If you ask me it still looks to new to me lol lets make it a bit older.

New rasterlayer name it frontold1, load cs-frontold and floodfill it with #4e433f. Apply a motion blur : Adjust -> Blur -> motion blur -> angle = 0 - strength = 40.

New rasterlayer name it frontold2, load cs-frontold2 and floodfill it with #000000. Apply same motion blur as above.

X out all your layer except the frontold1 and frontold2. Merge those two layers visible. Make your front layer visible and click outside the shed with your magicwand, invert your selection, activate the motionblur layers and hit delete. Repeat this step with the inside of the window.

It already looks better don't you think ? Now we going to do the same with the roof :)

New rasterlayer name it roofold, load cs-roofold and floodfill it with #4e433f. Apply the same motion blur just change the angle to 270.

I've merged the roof and front parts seperatly and x-ed out the flowerhook, doorknob and added noise to make it look a bit more older.

Last step ! Make a new rasterlayer and move it all the way under the frontlayer. Load cs-insideshed and floodfill it with #000000.

Now you are done merge all layers visible and decorate it !

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial :)
