I hope that you will enjoy it!!! Any similarity to other tutorials is purely coincidence.  Open a new image 500 x 500. You can resize later. You will need 2 plugins for this tutorial, Filters Unlimited 2.0 and Simple. Select tube of your choice, duplicated and close the original. Resize if needed and don't forget to Adjust, sharpen Set your foreground color with one from your image, and flood fill your new image. Copy and paste your image. Highlight Background layer in layer pallette. Go to Effect, Texture and select a texture for you background that you like. I have used Canvas Coarse, Size 25, Sm-0, Dep-1, Amb-0, Shin-1, Angle 35, Int-50, Elev-30  Highlight your image Layer and apply a drop shadow, I used V-2, H-2, O-50, Blur-10, repeat drop shadow and use -2 in the settings. Merge Visible. Crop and resize if need to.  Now let's make some Borders and Frame.. Go to Image, Add Borders and add 3 pixel in dark color from your image, 3 pixel in light color from you image, or I used white and flood filled with gold, 3 pixel in your dark color. Selections, select all, selection, modify, contract by 8, selections, invert. Do not deselect. Effects, Inner Bevel, with these settings, W-31, S-6, Dep-4, Amb-0, Shin-2, Angle-30, Int-45, Elev-31, Select none. Image, Add Borders, 30 pixel, use white, select with magic wand. Effects, plugin, Simple filter, Half warp,select none. Using magic wand and hold down shift key, select the four white boxes and flood fill with light color, or I used gold. Select none. Now repeat first step in adding borders above. Image add border 40 pixel, with light from frame, select with magic wand. Effects, Simple filter, zoom out and flip. Effects add Inner Bevel with same settings as we used before. Promote background to layer in layers pallette, add a new layer, and add your watermark. Add text. Layers merge visible and resize and save.  Now to add some animation to our tag. In PSP, Edit and copy your image and move to AS. Choose some sort of animation, bling, snow, etc. My animation has 10 frames, so I duplicated my image 9 times to end up with 10 frames. Remember you must always have the same amount of frames as you animation in order for your animation to look right. Click on first frame of your animation, Edit, Select all, do the same to your image frames. Making sure you are on the first frame of both your animation and image, click on animation, holding your mouse key and drag animation over to your image and place where you want it. Check how it looks by clicking on animation button at the top of AS. Save!!!! Waa La!!! we are done I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and please let me see what you have done with it Hugs Connie (BGBikerbabe) Lesson written for Le Cafe D'Amis Group |
