Animated Water for PSP 6

You will need the Almathera Puddle Filter for this tut

I've never written a tut before so I hope I don't leave anything out.

First I opened a image 185x300 with a white background and flood filled it with the Linear Gradient-gradient set at Fading Foreground.

Then I found a tube I wanted to use and copy>paste>as new layer into the image.

I then used the Selection Tool set at Rectangle

and selected the area that I wanted to have the water reflect.

With the ants marching, make 2 more copies by using Shift and D.

On your first image go to Image.Plug Ins>Almathera>Puddle.

I used the following settings

LAKE

170 Reflection

20 Displacement

45 Lighting Strength

3 Perspective

30 Scale

Save the image as a .psp file.

Use the Almathera Filter on the next image with the same settings except for the Scale, change it to 25 and save as a .psp file.

Use the Almathera Filter on the last image and use the same settings except for the Scale, change it to 20 and save as a .psp file.

Next you will need to open Run Animation Shop.

Go to File>Animation Wizard.

First Screen:

Select same size as the first image frame>Next

Second Screen:

Transparent>Next

Third Screen:

Upper left corner of the frame

with the canvas color>Next

Fourth Screen:

Yes, repeat indefinitely

How long? 30>Next

Fifth Screen:

Add images>Next

Sixth Screen:

Finish

Now click on View>Animation

And there you have your finished image!!

Name it and save it :-)
