so sweet

Tutorial done in PSPX2.

Must having some working knowledge of the program.

Hyper Candy PTU kit by me. [HERE]

Tube by Elias Chatzoudis. Purchase from HERE.

Mask208 by Weescotlass. [HERE]

Template by me.

for PSPX and newer, download HERE.

for PSP9 and older, download the PSD template HERE.

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

open up the template and delete the copyright layer.

add a new raster layer above the background layer.

select all.

open paper10 from the kit.

copy and paste (C/P) into selection on new layer.

select none.

apply the mask with default settings.

right click on the top layer to merge mask group.

add a new raster layer above the large rectangle.

use your magic wand to click inside the rectangle.

open paper6 from the kit.

C/P into selection on new layer.

select none and hide large rectangle layer.

add a new raster layer above the strips layer.

like before, use your magic wand to click inside each strip.

make sure your magic wand tool settings is in ADD (SHIFT) mode to be able to select 2 places.

now open paper2 and C/P into selection on new layer.

select none and hide strips layer.

repeat the steps for the small rectangle and paper8,

as well paper2 and the circle layer.

except for the circle layer, do float/defloat instead of using your magic wand.

now for the tube.

C/P your tube as a new layer and center it above the circle layer.

add a drop shadow and duplicate.

go back down to the template circle layer.

unhide it and float/defloat/invert selection.

hide it again and hit delete on the bottom tube layer.

select none.

now using your rectangle selection tool, make the following selection:

hit delete on the top tube layer.

invert your selection and hit delete on the bottom tube layer.

now add any elements and text that you want along with drop shadows.

don't forget 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! =)
