Animated Mermaid.

24) Open the patterned tile you saved from page one. Click on the little arrow on the fill box and choose pattern when the little window opens. Load the green pattern tile. Choose solid colour in the stroke box and use a dark green. I used #1A4B07

25) Click on the text tool and click on your mermaid canvas. Type in your name and choose your font. Set your size to 72 and make sure anti alias and vector are selected. Click OK.

26) Use the nodes on the vector box to stretch your text so it fits under the mermaid.

27) Right click on the new vector layer and click on convert to raster Layer

28) Click on the Inner Bevel Icon and use the following settings.

29) Click on the text layer and drag it down under the mermaid layers

30) This is what you should have now.

31) Now go back to the layer palette and right click on the text layer. Click on Duplicate

32) We now need to merge a text layer with a mermaid layer. Turn OFF the visibility of copy of layer 2 and merged.

33) Right click on layer layer 2 and Merge > Merge visible.

34) Turn OFF the visibility of the newly merged layer and turn the other 2 layers back on. Right click on copy of layer 2 and Merge > Merge Visible

35) turn on the visibility of the first merged layer and this is how your layer palette should look now.

36) Save your image as a PSP file.
