My Supplies Here

[Let's Get Started]

1- Open up a new transparent image 500 x 500 pixels and flood fill white.
Make a new raster layer floodfill with a colour from your tube. I used #89A3D3,
Open up your mask in psp and minimize it.
Go masks - new - from image
Locate EDBMask53 from drop down menu and select it.
The only thing ticked is source luminance, then click ok, Merge visible

2- Open FM-FP-Frame-1 resize it 433x475 copy paste as new layer.
Move it up slightly and add drop shadow.
Open FM-FP-Element-9 resize it 160x154.
Copy paste as new layer add drop shadow.
Duplicate twice and move into position, see my tag.
Open FM-FP-Element-37 resize it 90x93.
Copy paste as new layer add drop shadow.
Move top right, duplicate mirror and move bottom left.

3- Resize your tube 333x475 copy paste as new layer, add drop shadow.
Add your copywrite and name and merge visible.
Save as jpeg and we are done.
Told you it was quick one.

Animated version.

For those wishing to animate the tag.

Do step 3 but dont merge visible, delete the tube layer.
Then merge visible, and save as jpeg.

4- Open up a new transparent image 600 x 600 pixels.
We will resize it later.
Open petra tube and copy raster1 paste as new image.
go raster2 and right click duplicate close raster2.
we are working with our duplicate copy.

5- Select the warp tool with these setting.
And cover where u want to warp the tube (see example).



6- Click it twice, right click copy and paste as new image.
Go back to the layer we just warped and go edit undo warp brush once.
Copy and paste as new layer the one you just pasted as new image.
The one you just pasted we need to line up with with raster2.
(i used the pelican legs to line it up) when your happy u got it lined up
duplicate copy of raster2 and drag it above raster3, add drop shadow to all.
Crop and save as psp and open it in anim shop and view animation.
If its all working ok and your happy with the animation, its time for the next stage.
(I have a folder where I keep my animated tubes in psp form for future use).

7- Open your saved animated psp tube, resize it 333x475 bicubic resample.
Both boxes ticked, go image canvas size 500x500.
Open our saved jpeg and copy paste as new layer.
Drag to the bottom, duplicate 3 times for 4 layers.

8- Close all layers, open layer 4 and raster1 and merge visible, close merged layer.
Repeat this for all layers and rasters, for 4 final merged layers.
You can save it as psp and open in anim shop or copy each layer to anim shop.
9- Copy 1st layer to animation shop as new animation,
copy layer 2 and paste after current frame and again for layer 3 and 4.
Edit select all, right click frame properties and set display time for 25.
View your animation, if happy with result save it as gif.
