How to make a tunnel

This is a something that I came up with while playing, it's really simple so no one should have any problems with it but it's really cool so I had to share.

This is what we'll be creating
 

 
This is what you'll need
 
Jasc Paint Shop Pro
And this gradient: tunnel gradient

Since I was trying to come up with some cool wallpaper we'll be starting by creating either a 800x600, or 1024x768 canvas (these are standard wallpaper sizes)

I'll be starting with 800x600

Select the Flood Fill tool and change your foreground to white then select the tunnel gradient with the settings below

You with me? Ok now flood fill your image with the gradient

Add a new layer and change the gradient properties to have an angle of 90

Now flood fill this new layer with the gradient

And now for the magic! Change the layer properties on this layer to lighten, merge layers visible and you're done!

I made the gadient so you can change colors simple by changing the foreground color

Here are some examples of other colors

Just so you know these look a lot better full size.
