Tutorial done in PSPX2.

Must having some working knowledge of the program.

Template by Yvette. DowDnload [HERE].

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

open your template, hide/delete the copyright layer.

resize the canvas to 750px by 600px.

hide the large white circle and large blue circle.

on the shape layer, use blinds under effects > texture.

use these settings:

Width: 10
Opacity: 50
Color: #e43535
Horizontal: checked
Light from left/top: unchecked

add a new raster layer under the shape layer and fill with #000000.

float/defloat/expand by 5 the shape layer.

invert the selection and hit delete on the black fill layer.

select none.

hite the small white circle layer.

add a new raster layer above the pink circle layer.

make your foreground #e43535 and your background #000000.

fill the layer with these gradient settings:

Angle: 0
Repeats: 0
Invert: checked
Style: Rectangular

select the invert button if it looks different.

float/defloat/invert the pink circle layer.

hit delete on your gradient fill layer above.

select none and hide the pink circle.

add a new raster layer above rectangle layer.

fill with #e43535.

float/defloat/invert the rectangle and hit delete on the fill layer.

select none and hide the rectangle.

use the same blinds settings as before but use #000000 instead of red.

merge down white frame and Frames Background.

add a new raster layer above and gradient fill with these settings:

unselect the invert button if yours looks different.

use your pick tool to bring the layer closer around the frames.

float/defloat/invert the frames and hit delete on the fill layer.

select none and hide the frames.

now for your tube.

copy and paste it onto the working canvas.

position it to your liking under the black frames layer.

delete any excess areas and make it black and white.

make it overlay under blend mode.

duplicate and mirror it.

and that's it. add a top tube, don't forget to credit or add your license.

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.
