Quadrants
Paint Shop Pro� 8

For this tutorial, I am using a scanned Maple leaf.  The height is 300 and the width is 300. Make sure you resize your image so that you can make 4 equal sized quadrants. You can do this by going to Image/Resize and resize by pixel size and uncheck Maintain aspect ratio and entering 300 for width and 300 for height.

Step 1: Select two contrasting colors from your image with your Eyedropper tool.

Step 2: Select your Selections Tool , then from your top toolbar, select the Custom Selection box .  By clicking on the Custom Selection box, a toolbox will appear, set it as shown in Screen Shot 1:

Step 3: Now the upper left portion of your image will be selected. Choose your flood fill bucket , and you can either use these settings or increase your Opacity settings to make the flood fill darker. Flood fill with one of your colors that you chose, I'm using black.
