***********************

with all your files open and ready to go, let's get started.

open my template and delete the copyright layer.

add a new raster layer above the background layer and select all.

open paper9 from the kit and copy.

paste into selection on the new raster layer.

select none.

now apply the mask at default settings.

right click on the mask layer to merge the mask group.

resize the mask by 95%.

now add a new raster layer above the Rectangle2 template layer.

on the Rectangle2 layer, select all/float/defloat.

open paper2 from the kit and copy.

paste into selection on the new raster layer.

select none and hide the Rectangle2 template layer.

repeat the previous step with the following layers and papers:

Rectangle1 and paper5

Rectangles and paper14

Rectangles Border and paper3

now open the full body tube and resize by 70%.

copy and paste (C/P) as a new layer above the paper14 and below the paper3.

position the tube in the left frame.

duplicate the tube and mirror.

position the duplicate tube in the right frame.

now on the Rectangles template layer, select all/float/defloat/invert selection.

hit delete on the full body tubes.

select none.

now add a new raster layer above the Strip template layer and select all.

open paper11 from the kit and copy.

paste into selection on the new raster layer.

do not select none.

on the Strip template layer, float/defloat/invert selection.

hit delete on the paper11 layer.

select none.

now duplicate the paper11 layer.

apply a cutout with the following settings:

V - 0

H - 0

O - 100%

B - 25

shadow color - #000000

fill interior color - unchecked

now change the blend mode of the cutout layer to multiply.

now open the close up tube and C/P as a new layer above the cutout layer.

position and/or duplicate it to your choosing.

*if you duplicate the close up tube, merge them to one layer.

now on the Strip template layer, select all/float/defloat/invert selection.

hit delete on the close up tube layer.

change the blend mode of the close up tube layer to screen.

now on the layer palette, pull the close up tube below the cutout layer and above the paper11 Strip layer.

on the text layers, select any papers you choose and do the following:

text layer - select all/float/defloat.

add a new raster layer above the text layer.

open a paper and copy.

paste into selection on the new raster layer.

select none and hide the text template layer.

now go down to the background layer and select all.

crop to selection.

this gets rid of any excess portions of the tube that is not visible on the canvas.

now that all the basics are done, add any elements, text and tubes.

don't forget to add artist credit and license info.

when you're all done, copy special > copy merged.

paste as a new image and use your magic wand tool to select outside the tag.

invert selection and crop to selection.

that will get rid of any extra space that you don't need.

thanks for trying my tutorial! =)
