Lets begin
Remember to save often
Step 1.
New image 600 x 300 fill with your gradient, name this background,
duplicate re-size this layer by 70%, and apply Effects Distortion Twirl,
image flip, and mirror, Effects, Edge Effects, Enhance, name this Twirl
Step 2
Copy and paste your smaller tube tube re-size if necessary,
and place on the left hand side, Adjust, Sharpen,
copy and paste your close up, place on left right side, Adjust Sharpen,
and give both your tubes a drop shadow.
Step 3
Active your back ground layer duplicate, and move to the top of your image,
mirror, Select all, Modify by 8, hit delete and select none,
apply Eye Candy 2 Gradient Glow, Glow width 5 Soft corners 25 Opacity 100, Colour Pride
Shift D this is for your AV, put this image to one side
Step 4
Open up AS add your name and copyright, on the name,
I again applied Eye Candy 2 Gradient Glow, as above,
save at this point if you do not wish to animated your tag,
active your back ground layer,
and apply Alien Skin Xenofex 2 Constellation settings small star,
copy this layer and take over to AS, paste as a new image,
back to PSP and undo Constellation, redo Constellation,
hitting the random button, copy and take over to AS,
and paste after current frame, back to PSP,
and repeat Constellation, this will give you three frames.
Step 5
Back to PSP, close background layer, copy and merged the rest of your layers,
and take to AS, paste as a new image,
and make the same number of frames as the image you had just made,
Edit Select All, Propagate, and paste this into the image you had just made,
when happy save as a GIF.
Step 6
Back to PSP open up the image you put to one side, and crop this by150 X 150,
using the part of image you want, add your name and copyright,
if you want to animate your Av repeat step's three, four and five,
when I made the border I did the contact by 6 not 8
PLEASE remember if you use any part of your tube to add your copywrite
