[size=12pt]I've used PSP9 for this tutorial, however you should
be able to create this tag in all versions.
I am assuming you have some knowledge of how PSP and Animation
Shop work.
Supplies needed:
A tube of choice. I’m using one by Garrett Blair
HTML http://www.garrett-blair.com/,
which I purchased through CILM.
His tubes are now available through CDO
HTML http://www.cdoestore.com/.
Please do not use unless you have the appropriate license.
Fonts of choice. I've used Windsong and Showcard Gothic.
You’ll need a bold font and a script font.
Plugins:
Andrew’s Filters 56 – Blurred Bits and Pieces
AAA Frames – Foto Frame
Eye Candy Impact – Gradient Glow (optional)
Mura’s Meister – Copies
1. Open a new transparent image 600 x 250 pixels
2. Copy and paste your tube as a new layer. Duplicate your
tube and close the duplicate.
3. On the original tube layer, apply Mura Meister Copies with
the following settings:

4. Adjust – Blur – Gaussian Blur with the following settings:

5. Apply Andrew’s Filters 56 – Blurred Bits and Pieces with the
default settings:
HTML http://images55.fotki.com/v648/photos/5/1294515/8684281/3AndrewsFiltersScreenshot-vi.jpg
If you cannot get this filter to show in your PSP, close PSP and
navigate to your plugins folder using Windows Explorer (or
equivalent). Search for the plugin named “BluBiPe.8bf” Once
you have found it, rename it by added a couple of numbers to the
end of it – I renamed it to “BluBiPe56.8bf” It should then show
up in your plugins list.
6. Unhide your duplicated tube and place it to the left of your
canvas.
Add a drop shadow of choice – I’ve used 3,3, 80, 15.
Merge layers visible. Crop canvas to 600 x 250 pixels.
7. Apply AAA Frames – Foto Frame with the following settings:
HTML http://images61.fotki.com/v218/photos/5/1294515/8684281/4AAAFrameScreenshot-vi.jpg
8. Select two colours from your tube and create a
foreground-background gradient:
HTML http://images60.fotki.com/v367/photos/5/1294515/8684281/5GradientScreenshot-vi.jpg
9. Select your Preset Shapes tool, set to Ellipse. Set your
gradient as the background and close off the foreground.
Draw a circle on the right-hand side of your tag. When happy
with the placement of your circle, convert to raster.
10. Duplicate your circle twice, giving a total of three circle
layers.
11. On the first circle layer, apply Effects – Artistic Effects
– Contours with the following settings:
HTML http://images61.fotki.com/v373/photos/5/1294515/8684281/6ContoursScreenshot1-vi.jpg
If you don’t like the way the contours show on your circle, play
with the settings until you find something you like.
12. On the second circle layer:
HTML http://images60.fotki.com/v361/photos/5/1294515/8684281/7ContoursScreenshot2-vi.jpg
13. On the third circle layer:
HTML http://images55.fotki.com/v586/photos/5/1294515/8684281/8ContoursScreenshot3-vi.jpg
14. Add the same drop shadow you used on the tube to the three
circle layers. Close off the second and third circle layers.
15. Type your saying of choice (I’ve used Rock On!) using your
bold font. I also added a gradient glow. You may not need
this, depending on your choice of colours. I then added a small
drop shadow: 2,2,80,5.
16. Using your script font, add your name. I also added the
same drop shadow I applied to my saying.
17. Add the copyright and any license numbers necessary.
18. Copy merged and paste as new animation in Animation Shop.
19. Close the first circle layer and open the second circle
layer. Copy merged and paste after the first frame.
20. Close the second circle layer and open the third circle
layer. Copy merged and paste after the second frame.
21. Select all frames and change the frame properties to 28.
22. Optimise your animation and save as a gif.
And you're done :)
