BIRD1
PSP8 to PSPX3






This tutorial was written by Rebba  to be shared with the Artistry Master Group.
March 2011
I have created the animation to have fun with but also to teach perhaps a
different way of doing it, I call My Way.  I'm not a tutorial writer so this is more in
steps and doesn't expound on the design or PSP part of the tutorial. If you have any
trouble understanding please email me I will be happy to explain.
rebbad@embarqmail.com
There will also be NOTES added to the tut and this is to explain something that I had
trouble with. I hope this will save you from having the same problem.

The tubes used are not mine and the copyright belongs to the artist. No
infringement intended.


Note: Remember to save often in PSP and to Edit >> Empty Clipboard in PSP when
you come out of AS and back into PSP. You don't want to lose everything
(like me) when almost finished.
