Re: "Yellow Highlighter" Effect in Paint Shop Pro 5.03?

Hello.....

A similar effect could be done using the airbrush tool. One advantage to
using the paintbrush or airbrush to do this is that the edges look more
irregular, like they would actually look if you used a highlighter on a
book.

Good luck with the project,
Dusty
