now open the close-up tube and copy/paste as a new layer above the greysquare/paper16 layer.

mirror the tube and drag it to the center of the square.

use my tag for placement reference of the tube.

while still on the tube, go up to effects > photo effects > black and white film.

apply it with brightness and clarify both set to 0.

change the blend mode of the tube to overlay.

go back down to the greysquare template layer and select all/float/defloat/invert.

hit delete on the close-up tube.

now go down to the very bottom layer, all the way to the bottom. :P lol

select all and crop to selection.

now on the dottedsquare3 template layer, change the blend mode to overlay.

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! =)
