masked desires

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

open the template, install the plugin and have the kit ready to go.

first, delete my copyright layer.

hide the Frame and DelMar1 layers on the template.

now open paper4 from the kit and copy.

click on the gray1 layer and select all.

paste into selection and select none.

now duplicate the paper4 layer twice so you have a total of 3 paper layers.

hide the top 2 layers and click on the bottom paper layer.

now go to effects > plugins > vm instant art > spider web

apply these settings to the paper layer.

*click for larger preview*

click ok.

now hide that layer and unhide the second paper layer.

apply the plugin again, this time change the rings to 159.

on the last paper layer, use the same settings and change the rings to 175.

now add a new raster layer above the DelMar1 layer and select all.

now open paper10 from the kit and copy.

paste into selection on new raster layer.

do not deselect yet.

click on the DelMar1 layer and float/defloat/invert selection.

hit delete on the paper10 layer.

select none and hide the DelMar1 layer.

repeat the previous steps with the frame layer and paper2.

now that all the basics are done, add any elements, text and tubes.

don't forget to add artist credit and license info.

OPTIONAL - ANIMATION SHOP

once your tag is ready to animate, go to edit > copy special > copy merged.

*pay attention to which paper4/spider web layer you're copying.*

open your animation shop and paste as a new animation.

go back to PSP and hide the previous layer that was showing.

do the copy merged step again.

go back to animation shop.

this time, go to edit > paste > after current frame.

repeat the steps for the last paper layer.

back in animation shop, leave it at the default settings (don't change the speed).

you can preview your animation before saving by going to view > animation.

and that's it! save your tag and you're done!

thanks for trying my tutorial! =)
