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

with the files ready to go, let's get started!

open my template and delete my copyright info layer.

add a new raster layer above the Oval Top template layer.

on the Oval Top template layer, select all/float/defloat.

open paper2 from the kit and copy.

paste into selection on the new raster layer.

now add a new raster layer above the paper2 layer.

open paper11 from the kit and copy.

paste into selection on the new raster layer.

select none and hide the Oval Top template layer.

on the paper11 layer, go up to effects > film effects > black and white film.

apply it with brightness and clarify set to 0.

now change the blend mode to soft light.

merge down one layer to combine the soft light with the paper2 layer.

now duplicate the merged layer and apply a cutout with the following settings:

V - 0

H - 0

O - 100%

B - 100.00

shadow color - #000000

fill interior - unchecked

change the blend mode to overlay.

merge down the cutout with the merged papers layer.

now add a new raster layer above the Oval Bottom template layer.

on the Oval Bottom layer, select all/float/defloat.

open paper8 from the kit and copy.

paste into selection on the new raster layer.

select none and hide the Oval Bottom template layer.

duplicate the paper8 layer and apply the same cutout settings as before.

do not change the blend mode here.

merge down one layer so cutout and paper8 are one layer.

repeat the previous steps with the Oval template layer and paper9.

for the cutout on this one, change the blend mode to overlay.

OPTIONAL

if you would like to add the frame 2 and 3 to encircle the Oval/paper9,

open and resize both by 75%.

copy and paste both frames as new layers below the Oval/paper9 layer.

use your pick tool (set to scale) to pull it around the Oval.

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! =)
