Open your girl tube

On your working image, paste as new layer ( if you are using the tube I supplied, you will need to resize by 85% )

Using your mover tool, position her slightly off the center of the flower ( a little down and to the right ) OR.. for a different look go to Image.. Mirror... and put her on the other side of the canvas.

Rename this layer 'Girl1'

Effects - 3D Effects - dropshadow using the same settings as before

Move to your bottom layer, which should be your background layer and rename it 'background1'

Duplicate and rename it 'background2'>

Move up to your splash1 layer and duplicate it. rename the new layer 'splash2'

Move up to your flower1 layer and duplicate it. rename the duplicate layer 'flower2'.

Move up to your girl layer and duplicate it. rename the new layer 'girl2'.

Highlight your flower1 layer then: Effects - dsb flux - bright noise - intensity 41 - click on mix button 1 ( one ) time. OK.

Highlight your flower2 layer then: Effects - plugins - dsb flux - click on the mix button 3 ( three ) times. OK.

Highlight the top layer of your pallet. It should be your girl2 layer. Select your text tool and set the size to 72 ( for the sintex font I have included for other fonts you may have to adjust the size. ) vector - stroke width 3 - anti alias checked.

Place on your working image and type the name you want. Highlight the vector layer and convert to raster layer. rename this layer 'name1'.

With the name1 layer highlighted: Effects - 3D Effects - dropshadow using the same settings as before. OK.

With the name1 layer still highlighted duplicate and rename 'name2'.

Now it's time to merge the layers. with the highlight on the bottom background1 layer close out all of the number 2 layers with only the layers number 1 layers visible. Layers - merge - merge visible.

highlight the other background layer and close out the merged layer. un x all the remaining layers and layers - merge - merge visible. UN X all merged layers. Go to file - save as - select the options menu - select LZ77 and Save as PSP7 compatible file. Give it a file name of your choice and save to a folder of your choice.

TIME TO ANIMATE

Open animation shop. File - Open - locate your saved file and click to open.

Place your arrow on the top bar of the image and right click.. go to.. view animation. I set my display to 20 but you can play around until you find a speed you like.

Edit - Select all - Edit - resize animation to 70%.

Save your animation with the default settings and you are DONE!

I hope you enjoyed doing this tut as much as i enjoyed writing it!!
