Let's Rock this Tutorial!!

Open the template in PSP, using your shortcut keys on your keyboard (SHIFT+D) duplicate the template as a new image. Close the original.

Open paper several papers of choice. Minamize for later use.

Go to large circle layer, Open paper image3, go to Selections-All-Float-Defloat. Add new raster layer and paste into selection. Delete original layer.

Do this to all the smaller circles except circle 3 and to frame the background and frame.

For circle 3, open button 2, resize 134x139 pixels, copy and paste as a new layer and arrange to fit over circle 3.

Open butterflywireframe of choice, arrange above the large circle layer.

Add tube of choice, arrange and resize to fit to liking inside the frame. Go to Effects-PhotoEffects-Black and White film with setting to your liking. Go to your layer properties and set to overlay. Go to your frame background, go to Selections-All-Float-Defloat-Invert go to the tube layer and hit the delete key on your keyboard. Duplicate 3 times so you have 4 layers. Arrange one to the second circle at the top, go to that circle, go to Selections-All-Float-Defloat-Invert go to the tube layer and hit the delete key on your keyboard. Do this with another tube but placing it in the circle under the button layer. Leave the last two layers where they are, do not merge down, it will lighten it up, to me it just looks better.

Open the stat element, resize to 179x103 pixels, arrange to the bottom of the frame background layer.

Add wordart of choice, resize to likin, go to Selections--All-Float-Defloat-Modify-Expand by 3. Add a new raster layer, arrange below the wordart and flood fill with color of choice.

Add Stethascope resize to 92x178 pixels, arrange to the top of the wireframe, to make it look like a part of it is going throught the frame, with your eraser tool set to a small size setting, I used 4, carefully erase a very small portion of the stehascope.

Open IVdrip, resize to 143x423 pixels, arrange to the right of the image. Add tube of choice, and arrange above the IV drip. If using the same tube and you want her arm to 'wrap around' the drip, first you will add a dropshadow of choice, then duplice the tube and arrange one below the drip, go to the top tube and carefully erase a very small portion of the arm Go to the bottom tube and carefully erase most of the tube except the portion of the arm. this way the shadow isn't too much on the tube.

Add anyother elements of choice.

Let's Rock this Tutorial!!

Open a new Image 650 x 250 with a transparent background.

Go Selections-All-Float-Defloat. Add new raster layer, copy and paste paper 17 into selection. Select-None. Add a close up of the tube of choice, arrange in the middle of the image, go to Adjust-Hue and Saturations and have both set at 0. Duplicate layer, go to the origianl layer, Adjust-Blur-Gaussian Blur with settings set at 13. Go to the copied layer and set the visiablity to around 50, you may want to play with it and see what you come up with. Add sand element, resize to liking and arrange at bottom of the image.

Add full tube of choice, arrange just to the right of the larger tube. I cannot tell you how to make it look like she's in water, this is how the tube came.

Open the Beach stuff element and resize 175 x 101 and the cooler element and resize 175 x 136. Copy, paste as new layers and arrange one to the right and one to the left of the image.

Add name and copyright info.
(If you do not want to animate, add crab, beach ball and any other elements of choiceand save.)

Now for the animations!!

First we'll do the crab:
(We will go into Animation Shop in a bit, but first let's build up to it!)

Open the crab resize 88 x 60. Arrange to the far left of the image. Using either the numbers and abc's, save this as 1.jpg somewhere where you can find it later. Move the crab over just a little to the right, and save this as 2.jpg continue doing this untill you have 7 images.

Now for the Ball:
Open the ball and resize 88 x 88, now resize the canvas size to: 200 x 200. Arrange the ball almost to the bottom of the image. Go to Effects-Ulead Effects Gif-X 2.0. Using these settings: Vertical direction checked; Completion: 14; Volicity: 50; Compress: 50; Resistance: 50; Fit to background checked; Key frame control set at 1/15 frames. Save where you can find it later and press cancel. Close out ball element without saving any changes.

Now go to Animation Shop. Open Animation Wizard. Make sure that 'Same size as the first image frame' is checked. Click next. Check Transparent and click next. Make sure 'Centered in the frame' and 'With the canvas color' is checked. Click next. Make sure 'Yes, repeat the animation indefently' is checked and click next. Click on 'Add image' and find the banners you made, add each one 1-7 and then each one again but this time 7-1 and then 1 again, this should give you 15 frames. Click next. Once animation shop is finished building the animation click finish button.

Now, open the bouncing ball you created with Ulead Effects. Press Ctrl A on your keyboard then Ctrl x. Go to the Banner and press Ctrl A then Ctrl E, once the ball shows up, arrange to the right of the tube. The first ball in the first frame should be in middle of the tag between the tube and icechest. You may want to play around with this until you have the ball correctly placed to your liking.

View animation and save!!
Thanks for Rocking Out my tutorial, I hope you enjoyed! ~Lori
