Tutorial for Paint Shop Pro 5 and/or 6
 

So guys lets begin the fun. Start with a new image of '300 x 300' and/or '128 x 128' as shown in the left image. (Why I am insisting on these sizes please check at the end of the tutorial, don't be in hurry we are going there).

Next, set your foreground color to any dark color of your choice as I selected for this tutorial [8A3C3C]. And for the background color set bright shade of the same color, it is  important to have the same color shade for this purpose my bright shade is [D29C9C]. You can experiment with your choice latter, but for the sack of this tutorial use what I selected. As shown on your right.

Now click on flood fill Icon. In Flood Fill Tool Options set as shown in the picture on left here.  

Fill Style = Solid Color
Blend Mode = Normal
Paper Texture = Crumpled Satin
Match Mode = RGB Value
Tolerance = 50
Opacity = 100
Sample Merged = Checked

From top pulldown VIEW menu click {Rulers} Option on.  Now go to exact center of the image if your image size is 300 x 300 the center point will be 150 x 150.  It is necessary to select center of the image otherwise you will face problem in making tile able background.

Now without moving your hand click five time yes I mean it  5 clicks from your left mouse button, don't worry about the look. When you try with your own colors combination and  you  select some really dark color for the foreground you might end up with nothing but like a solid color flood fill. No problem, you will be surprised when the final result will come.

I am sure, I am not taking lot of time to explain everything. 

Now start the final phase of the tutorial. Keep your image center intact and in other words after five left mouse button clicks without moving your hand, no relaxation, full excitement, click only once yes only once the right mouse button.

BRAVO you did it!

Your satin background is ready. You are done. You are through and me too. Isn't it exciting and very very simple.

Now, why I insist on a particular size of the image, only reason is, that, we selected Crumpled Paper 2, the  size of that texture is 128 x 128, to keep it as tile able. If you will going to select any other size, you will, I am sure, as I face difficulties in the beginning, will be end up in a non tile able image. So, when you will select any other texture image, your new image should be the same and/or double of the original image.

If you don't have Crumpled Satin Click here to get it. A  ZIP file is also available to download from sample page containing several readymade satin background.
