I prefer, to put one light on each layer, and then merge all visible layers, because it is easier to arrange.

When you have all the lights on the bezier curve: duplicate the first layer until obtains 13 layers. (There are 11 bulbs in the image, plus one layer in which all the lights are lit and layer 1 will be the frame with all lights unlit.).

We will begin with layer 13 ďż˝ active layer-. This is the string that will have all lights lit. Click the Colors menu, choose Adjust/Brightness and Contrast, and set both to 20. Click OK.

Now, make the layer 12 the active layer, click the Selection tool, and set to Ellipse, select the last bulb (red), use the Brightness/Contrast adjustment with the same settings.

Repeat step 7 with each layer until layers 2 (blue). Remember that layer 1 is the beginning in which all the bulbs are off.

Save your images as *.psp and from File menu, choose File/Run Animation Shop.

Click File menu/Preferences/General Program Preferences and check this setting.
