Part 2

Click on the Name1 layer.

Go to Layers>Merge>Merge Visible.

Now go to File>Save As>1

Then>Edit>Undo Merge Layers,

and now X out the first Letter layer.

Merge the Name1 and the second layer

of your letter as we just did

with the previous layers.

Layers>Merge>Merge Visible

File>SaveAs>2.

Edit>Undo Merge Layers, and X out

that copy of the Letter.

Activate the Name 1 layer and the last

copy of your Letter layer.

Go to Layers>Merge>Merge Visible and

File>SaveAs>3.

Now you're ready to open Animation Shop.

Click on File>Animation Wizard.

Click on> Same Size as the first image frame, Next>Transparent>Centered in Frame,

Next>Yes, repeat the animation indefinitely,

and set the frame display at 30.

Then begin adding the layers 1,2,3,

Next, and then click Finish.

You should now have 3 frames.

Click on one frame and transport it back to PSP.

Add a layer, and find the tube that

you wish to use,*do not merge*.

With the new layer active,

click CTRL C (copy), then go back to AS

and click CTRL V (paste).

You should now have the tube on its own layer.

Close PSP (when it asks if you

want to update, click "no.")

Back to AS, in the upper part of your screen

click on "Toggle Onionskin Preview" button.

This will let you see where you placed the

tube in the previous frames.

Click on your tube to activate.

Click>Edit>Copy, and then click on frame 1

of your name, then Edit>Paste into selected frame.

(Place the tube above the bouncing letter

not touching, but in the center of that letter.)

Activate the second frame, and again

Edit>Paste into selected frame (the tube).

Drop the tube down so that it is resting

right on top of the letter, so that it will

be straight down from the

first placement of the tube.

(Use the preview as your guide.)

Then do the same with frame 3.

Click on View Animation, and see if you

like the speed of the bounce.

If not, you can click Edit>Select all>

Animation>Frame Properties,

and change the speed.

Now you're ready to crop and save.

*Or, you can export all frames

back to PSP at this time, and

apply a drop shadow.

V>>> -6

H>>> -6

O>>33

blur>>> 5.9

Color: #808080

Click on File>SaveAs>name it Bounce.

Make sure that you have applied the

dropshadow to all three and that all

3 layers are visible, before saving.

Now, back to AS>File>Animation Wizard.

Use the same settings as before,

only this time click on "opaque"

and add the image>Bounce.

Wooohooo...

you are now ready to crop and save!

(If you wish to resize, don't forget to

export all 3 frames to PSP and sharpen

each frame, before saving.)

Congratulations! I hope that you are

pleased with your new creation and
