*********************** 

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

open a new image at 750px by 650px.

add a new raster layer and select all.

open paper1 from the kit and copy.

paste into selection on the new raster layer.

select none.

now apply mask58 at default settings.

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

repeat the steps with paper and mask280.

now resize the mask by 80%.

go up to effects > photo effects > black and white film.

apply it with brightness and clarify both set to 0.

change the blend mode to screen.

now open frame02 from the frames folder and resize by 70%.

copy and paste (C/P) as a new layer on top.

use your magic wand to select inside both frames.

expand selection by 4.

add a new raster layer below the frame.

open paper9 from the kit and copy.

paste into selection on the new raster layer.

select none.

now open your tube, choose a close up is available.

copy and paste as a new layer below the frame.

position it to left frame.

use your magic wand tool to select inside the left frame.

expand selection by 4.

invert selection.

hit delete on the tube layer.

select none.

now duplicate the tube layer and mirror.

merge down one layer so both tubes are one layer.

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! =)
