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

with the files ready, let's get started.

open the template and resize the canvas at 750px by 650px.

now delete the following layers:

credits

Thin Tone Rectangle

Circle Wordart

Circle wordart Gradient Glow

Circle Wordart Drop Shadow

now merge the following together, all become one layer:

lower arrow

upper arrow

lower arrow halftone

upper arrow halftone

now rename the layer - arrow.

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

open paper5 from the kit and copy.

paste into selection on the new raster layer.

select none.

apply the mask at default settings.

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

now add a new raster layer above the arrow layer.

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

open paper4 from the kit and copy.

paste into selection on the new raster layer.

select none and hide the arrow template layer.

repeat the step with the following layers and papers:

rectangle and paper5

circle 1 and paper7

circle 2 and paper4

circle 3 and paper

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! =)
