FRIENDS FOREVER
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.
