Turtle Tag
 
This tut was written in PSP 9 but should be almost the same in PSP 8
 
You will need my tube here or one of your own
 
Simple filters
 
Open a new transparent canvas 500 x 500
 
 Chose a colour to match the tube then flood fill the canvas with it.
 
Add a texture of your choice to the colour.
 
Now copy and paste your tube onto the canvas as a new layer.
 
Effects-plug-ins -simple filter-4 way average
 
Copy and paste your tube again and image resize -50 -untick resize all layers.
 
Effects-3d-drop shadow-default
 
Layer-duplicate-image mirror-arrange under the other turtle and layers-merge-visible.
 
Image-add border-size 5 in white. Click on this with magic wand to select then floodfill with goldfill.
 
Image -add border-size 10-one of the colours from your tube. Click on this border with your magic
wand and effects-3d-inner bevel of you choice-I used the preset -frame.
 
Image- add border-size 15-in another colour from your tube-add the same inner bevel as you used before.
 
Add a new layer for your watermark and any text.
 
Layers merge visible and then resize as you wish.
 
At this stage add any artists info if it is needed.
 
That's the tutorial done
 
I hope you enjoyed doing it.
