I was asked how I “bent” the chain in the Pass-the-Pixel kit from the DSP designers. I use Paint Shop Pro & I opened the ball chain image and used the square selection tool to select just one ball. I copied it and then pasted that one ball as a new image and went to the “File, Export, Picture Tube” - cells across=1, cells down=1, total cells=1, placement mode=continuous, step size=the size of your ball (I think mine was about 36), and selection mode=incremental. Then save it.
When you select the tube option, find it (I named mine ballchain) - and just start drawing with it. If you need a smaller chain, there is a “Scale” option in the top menu - I scaled it down to a size that would fit the tag’s hole.
