This will be very
easy for you. If you want your tag as shown above :
Highlight the 'snowscape'
layer
Bring up the 'alpha' canvas
:
Open your Selection tool = set to
Rectangle
Carefully draw a rectangle around
the first letter of your name (try not to cut off its' shadow or into the next
letters' shadow)
Click into the selection to float
it
Drag the floating layer off the
palette = into your canvas (it will create the letter on its' own layer)
Continue selecting out the
letters of your name ..float each ..drag each off the palette to the
canvas.
At your canvas :
Open your Mover Tool
click each letter to move it = it
will also highlight the layer at your palette = you can move any letter up or
down the palette to position them in front of/or behind other
letters
~If you want to use a new
mask...or add a frame = X out the 'mask' layer and create what you
prefer
When you have what you like as
for a mask/frame and all your alphas are in place :
Make sure that 'snowfall 1' layer
is ON
Right click into your canvas =
Copy merged
Open Animation Shop
:
Paste as a New
Animation
Return to PSP :
Turn OFF 'snowfall 1'
Turn ON 'snowfall 2'
Copy merged
Return to AS :
Paste BEFORE Current
Frame
Return to PSP and turn OFF
'snowscape 2'..
turn ON 'snowscape 3'

You'll end up with 5 frames at
AS.
That's it!
