EDGE GLOW ANIMATION
PSP8 to PSPX3

 
This tutorial was written by Rebba  to be shared with the Artistry Master Group.
Feb 1, 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 infringment intended.
