********************************

This isn't very clear because of the reduction.


You will need a tube of your choice.
To create the same effect make sure it's a large one.


~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~


Go to WINDOW >>> DUPLICATE
Close the original frame you created,
this way it can be used for other images.

Go to your LAYER PALETTE
Click on Raster1 to activate
Flood fill with a colour of your choice.
I chose CREAM ( #FFEDCF )

Go to LAYERS >>> NEW RASTER LAYER

Right click on the title bar of your tube image
and select COPY from the options

Go to your frame image
Right click on the Title Bar
and select PASTE AS NEW SELECTION from the options.

Go to your LAYER PALETTE
On Raster 2
Change the LAYER BLEND MODE to LUMINANCE (Legacy)
Reduce the LAYER OPACITY TO 38%
Or whatever suits your tube
so you end up with something similar to the example below.




Go to LAYERS >>> NEW RASTER LAYER

Right click on the title bar of your tube image
and select COPY from the options

Go to your frame image
Right click on the Title Bar
and select PASTE AS NEW SELECTION from the options.

Go to IMAGE >>> RESIZE
and reduce the image to about 70 - 75% of it's original size>

DON'T FORGET
Make sure "Resize all layers" is UNCHECKED

Reposition the tube to suit.

Go to your LAYER PALETTE
On Layer 3 reduce the OPACITY to about 75%
(That is... if your image needs softening)



Go to EFFECTS >>> PLUGINS >>> EYE CANDY 3 >>> DROP SHADOW
Use these settings



Click OK

DESELECT


Go to your LAYER PALETTE
Click on the MERGED layer to activate

With your MAGIC WAND
Match Mode = RGB Value
Tolerance = 0
Feather = 0
Sample Merged = UNCHECKED

Click in the centre of the image

Go to SELECTIONS >>> INVERT

Go to EFFECTS >>> PLUGINS >>> EYE CANDY 3 >>> DROP SHADOW
Use the same settings

Click OK

DESELECT

Go to LAYERS >>> MERGE >>> MERGE ALL (Flatten)

Your image is complete *S*

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial
