I Love psp

I am using the awesome artwork of Rion Vernon aka pinuptoons, only available at CILM please do not use this tube without the proper licence.

I have made the mask and animation and you can find it HERE,

A nice quick and easy tutorial that assumes you have knowledge of psp and animation shop.

Ok here goes
Open a new image 600X600, flood fill with white, find and open my mask layer and copy and paste as a new layer, add your tube as a new layer and add a drop shadow of your choice.

Now open my i love psp which is in the supplies, copy and paste layer 1 as a new layer at the top of the image, go again to the i love psp and copy and paste layer 2 ensuring it is exactly on top of the previous one, repeat this until u get to layer 9, after you have pasted that one on X it out and paste layer 8 as a new layer.
Add your name in blueberry font, add your (c) info .

To animate
X out ALL the i love psp layers copy merged, and go to animation shop edit paste as a new animation then back to psp open the very bottom i love psp layer which should have just the i on it copy merged back to animation shop and paste AFTER current frame, repeat this until you have all the i love psp layers copied and pasted into animation shop.

Edit select all and change the frame properties to 30, then click on frame 11 and change the properties of this one to 100, then click on frame 10 and change the properties of this one to 50. Resize and save as a gif
