Open A.S. then open up your saved G.I.F in A.S.

and you might be able to cut down the number of frames,
but your animation won't look the same, or as smooth.
Open P.S.P.
Click on frame one
Copy frame one and take over to P.SP.
Paste as a new image.
Name this background.
Step 4
Copy and paste your tube place where you like.
Give it a drop shadow.

Again place where you feel happy with them.
Resize if necessary, I had a Sun in my Preset tools.
I placed this behind the clouds
Give them a drop shadow.
Step 5
New layer fill with a colour that goes with your tube.
I used #bbbead, Select all.
Modify, by 6 hit delete, Select none.
Give this the same drop shadow.
Add your Artist copyright and your name.
Again give your name a drop shadow.
Step 6
You can delete the background layer.
This was just so you could place your tube and Elements.
Copy merged and take over to A.S.
Paste as a new image.
Make the same number of frames, that your Animation has.
It should be 20 frames.
Step 7
Working on the water animation.
Edit Select all, Propagate Paste.
Do the same with the image you,
have just made 20 frames.
VEREY carefully Paste your new image on to the water Animation.
