TITLE
PSP8 to PSPX3


This tutorial was written by Rebba  to be shared with the Artistry Master Group.
AUGUST 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.

You will need the following to complete this tutorial
