Remember to save often
Step 1.
Open a image 600 x 400 copy and paste your image,
apply MuRa's Meister Copies, preset (=seamless) number 15 leave the rest as they are, duplicate, mirror and merge down,
you want it to cover the image if it does not,
duplicate again, and move this layer till the whole image is covered,
merge visible, apply Effects, Refection, Kaleidoscope X small,
and Wrap ticked, click ok, Effects Edge Effects Enhance,
name this background 2.
Step 2
New raster layer, fill with a light colour from your tube I used #fddfd5,
moved this down under your background layer 2, name this background 1,
active background layer 2,and lower the opacity down to 50,
or what you feel happy with.
Step 3
Copy and paste your tube and give it a drop shadow,
new raster layer fill with a colour from your tube or a patten,
I made one by copying my tube and cutting the part of her dress,
and then used that as my patten,
give it a drop shadow, close these off for now
Shift D twice this is for your forum and AV, put these image's to one side
Step 4
Give your image a saying, add your name and copyright,
close the copyright off for now, give your saying, and name a drop shadow,
copy merge and take over to AS, and paste as a new image
Step 5
Find the animation you are going to use,
and make the same number of frames of your new image, mine had 14,
** then Edit Select All, Propagate, do the same with your animation,
and paste this into your new image, back to PSP,
close the open layers off, and open the layers that were closed,
and repeat from ** I set my animation at 20 when happy save as GIF.
Step 6
Open up one of the images you put to one side,
and as you are going to crop this image to 600 X 300
move anything around you want to keep, and then repeat Step 5
Step 7
Open up the other image you put to one side,
and crop this one 150 X 150, using the part of image you want,
and give it the same border, and add a drop shadow
PLEASE remember if you use any part of your tube to add your copywriter
