To use the PSP file you're going to open it up on PSP or Photoshop (whichever you use) and open up the image you want to apply the coloring to. I'm not very good at explaining this in words but you want to drag and drop the layers from the PSP file into the image you want to apply the coloring to. Here's an image that explains it better:
Sometimes the blend modes stay at normal for the image you've dropped the layers into so you have to go in manually and change those to the correct blend mode. For example, the purple exclusion layer. When you drop that in it may be set on normal so you'll have to put it on exclusion.
Thanks for the help! :) When I tried to open it up, it said something like "not a supported Paint Shop Pro format". Do I have to change the file name or extension? I have PSP 8, if that means anything...
Erm, I don't think there's any way you can get the file to work then. I use PSP X2 so I'm not sure why the file isn't working in earlier versions. Sorry. If you want the PSP file though, you could always just do the tutorial on an image. Make sure you don't merge the layers, and then when you go to save it click the drop down box that says "files of type:" in front of it and chose the option that says "PSPIMAGE (*.pspimage, *.psp, ect...)"
Then when you open your file up on your program all the layers will be there and you can just drag and drop them into another image whenever you want to.
It's okay, not your fault at all. :) Maybe my version is just buggy for some reason. If I can't get it to work then I'll do it like you suggested. Thanks again and sorry for the trouble!

If you need anymore help just let me know. :)
