Open a new transparent image 600 x
450.
Choose 2 colors from your tube and flood fill your layer 1 with
the foreground/background gradient angle 45 and repeats of 0.
Effects>plugins>simple>diamond.
Add your tube as a new layer and duplicate.
On the duplicate layer:
Effects>plugins>distort>radial zig zag with the default
settings.
Image>flip and put this layer under your original tube layer.
Now set the layer property to luminance.
Add a new layer and set your foreground to a color darker than
one in your tube. Grab your MGD brush one, size 227, step 25 and
density at 100 and tick once in the upper right hand corner.
*Thank you ModGirl for the use of your brush!!!!*
Duplicate this layer and image>flip.
Shut off all your layers except the brush layers and
layers>merge visible.
Make sure you are at the top of your layer palette and grab your
text tool, vector checked, and using a thick font with stroke at
2 type out your text. Stretch & position it where you would like
it on your tag, then convert to a raster layer.
Add any effects to your text that you like.
Now add layers for your copyrights and watermarks.
You may want to resize your image...if so, Image>resize>I did
80% all layers checked.
Add borders or a .psp frame to your liking.
You can save as a .jpg now or continue to the animation part:
With your magic wand, tolerance set to 0, tick every other block
on your mask.
Now duplicate your tag one time. (Shift-D).
On your copy, go to adjust>brightness and contrast>brightness at
30 and contrast at 20.
You may now deselet on this image. Save as a .psp file.
On your original image, again to to brightness and contrast. Set
the brightness at -30 and the
contrast to -20. Deselect, and save as a .psp file.
Now open up animation shop.
Using your animation wizard, add your 2 images (it does not
matter what order you add them in).
Set your speed to your liking; I used 50. I also resized my
animation to 80%.
Save as a .gif file and you're finished!
