Dog Supplies

Open your template in PSP....open your text and shrink it to task bar if you are using mine...add new layer...With the text tool set at size...48...stroke set at null... fill set at your choice...auto kerring set at 100...floating and antalias checked... type your name and place it so the 3rd letter is right in front of the dog...open hand down... hit it with the de form tool and drag it down so his feet don't show...and up so the letter fits in his paw.....

while still active add this inner bevel

Drop shadow

Selections ...select none .....drag this layer to the top of the stack.. duplicate this layer and turn off the original...lasso around the 3rd letter of your name...click to tighten ants....edit...copy...delete key...edit paste as new layer...place it back in it's spot.... re name this layer letter...duplicate the letter 2 more times for a total of 3

Close off all layers except hand down and one of the letters... layers...merge...re name hand down....close off that layer .. open hand middle...open another letter....bring the letter up to sit on his paw...layers>merge.... re name hand middle....close off that layer...open hand up open the last letter....bring the letter up to sit on his paw...layers>merge...re name hand up...

This is what your layer palette should look like

Let's crop our graphic...with the selection tool...draw around the dog and name...leave the space at both ends...just draw around the top and bottom...leave a little room at the top, we are going to put a frame around himimage..crop to selection

Add a new layer....selections...select all...selections...modify... contract by 5...selections invert...now just flood fill with a colour and add the same inner bevel...re name this layer frame and drag it to the top of the palette...if you want a drop shadow... use the same settings as before and do it a second time with -4 in the vertical and horizontal boxes

In animation shop click on edit...select all...animation ...property frames set at 15,play with this setting, you may want to change it

All that's left is to save as and when you come to the Animation quality versus output size...click on customize then click on optimization tab and make sure Minimal frames in unchecked

You may want to re size it, I took mine down to 300

And that's it for this one

Thanks Robert for another easy tag
