Open a new image 500x500

colors, one light for your
foreground and a dark for
your background. For this I
used #D5CEA5 and #C6B18D.
Select your foreground and
background gradient, angle 0
and repeats 0 Invert
unchecked and flood layer
#1. Use your dropper tool
and select two colors again
from your image, again a
lighter for your foreground
and a darker for your
background. I used #B8A57F
and #746D43. Copy your tube
and paste as a new layer and
resize 80%, all layers
