Step 5
Now we will add the animated glitter tile
You will need to open the tile in animation shop
MENUBAR-EDIT-SELECT ALL
MENUBAR-EDIT-COPY
Minimize animation shop
Go to PSP
Right click anywhere in the grey working area
Paste as a new image
PLEASE READ THE NEXT STEPS CAREFULLY!!!
***TIP***
Remember to save your image after each step
STEP 6
PLEASE READ THIS STEP CAREFULLY!!!
When the glitter tile is taken to PSP it will create one file with 8 layers
You need each of these layers individual
Click and drag each layer to the grey work area and it will create a new image
Do this with all 8 layers then close your original glitter tile
Make sure to keep them separate
***TIP***
WHEN YOU CLICK AND DRAG EACH ONE IT WILL OVERLAP THE OTHERS IN THE UPPER LEFT OF THE WORK AREA
IN ORDER TO KEEP THE ORIGINAL FILE SEPARATE MAKE SURE TO HAVE IT DOWN IN THE BOTTOM OF THE WORK AREA!!!!
Step 7
PLEASE READ THIS STEP CAREFULLY!!!
Now you will need to create 8 empty raster layers below your silver frame layer and above the image layer
Open your MATERIAL PALETTE from the foreground box
Choose Pattern
You will see the 8 glitter tiles there
Choose the first one
YOU WILL NEED TO DO THESE IN ORDER…VERY IMPORTANT OR THE ANIMATION WONT WORK
Now you will activate the bottom empty raster layer
Paste the glitter tile into the selection
Now hide this layer
Activate the next one
Go to the materials palette, choose the next animation tile
Paste into the selection area in the empty layer
Repeat this process for all 8 layers
***TIP***
YOU CAN DELETE EACH ANIMATION TILE AS YOU USE IT, THEY WIL BE SMALL SO SEEING THE NAME WILL BE DIFFICULT UNLESS YOU ENLARGE THEN IN YOUR WORK AREA.
MAKE SURE TO KEEP TRACK OF THE NAMES OF THE TILES IN THE MATERIALS PALETTE
THEY WILL BE NAMED IMAGE (#)
START WITH THE FIRST ONE IN THE PALETTE.
Once you have all 8 animation layers done you will want to check them in animation shop to make sure they are correct
If they aren’t then you will need to delete the 8 layers you created and start over.
TO CHECK THE ANIMATION—
Hide all layers in your tag but the 8 glitter layers
Save as a pspimage file
Open it in animation shop
VIEW-ANIMATION
If it flows like on the site you got it from then your good to go on
Close the image and go back to psp
***TIP***
Remember to save your image after each step
Step 8
Now you will need to duplicate the image, white, and silver frame layers until you have 8 of each
Hide all but the bottom one of each set
MERGE VISIBLE
Hide this merged layer
Unhide the next ones in line
MERGE VISIBLE
Hide this merged layer
Repeat for all 8 sets of layers
Once you have this done save your tag again with a different name
Test it in animation shop again as you did above
If its right close the image and go back to animation shop to finish your tag
***TIP***
Remember to save your image after each step
Step 9
Activate the top layer
Now add your copyright and watermark layers
Merge them and duplicate it until you have 8
Merge as you did before doing one of the text layer and the tag layer
***TIP***
Remember to save your image after each step
Step 10
Now do your text layer and duplicate it until you have 8
Merge these like above
Save your image, then take it to animation shop and save it as a gif
