*********************** 

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

open my template and delete my copyright info layer.

add a new raster layer above the background and select all.

open a dark/black paper and copy.

paste into selection on the new raster layer.

select none.

now apply the mask at default settings.

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

now resize the mask layer by 95%.

now add a new raster layer above the Large Circle template layer.

on the Large Circle template layer, select all/float/defloat.

open paper11 from the kit and copy.

paste into selection on the new raster layer.

select none and hide the Large Circle template layer.

repeat the last step with the following layers and papers:

Arrows2 and paper13

Small Circle and paper12

Arrows1 and paper5

now open your tube, chose a close-up tube if available.

you can resize if you choose to.

copy and paste (C/P) as a new layer above the Small Circle/paper12 layer.

on the tube layer, 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 Luminance (Legacy).

on the Small Circle template layer, select all/float/defloat/invert selection.

hit delete on the tube layer.

select none.

now go down to the background layer and select all.

crop to selection.

this removes any excess portions of the tube not visible on the canvas.

now go back up to the Small Circle/paper12 layer.

duplicate it and pull it above the tube layer.

apply a cutout with the following settings:

V - 0

H - 0

O - 100%

B - 100.00

shadow color - #000000

fill interior - unchecked

now change the blend mode for the cutout 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! =)
