This tutorial has been written for PSP8 using the larger brushes to make the cutout. You may download the Apples Brush here. Save the brush and brush script in your PSP8 Brushes folder. (C:\My Documents\My PSP8 Files\Brushes is were mine are.) You can use your own custom brush if you would like.
Open a new image 600X600, flood fill with white and add a new layer. Choose the paint brush tool and pick the brush you want to use.
