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



(If you'd rather have a base.... then skip to the instructions
further down the tutorial)


If you are going to use the 'fine and bow' (hanger)
Select your mover tool and move your globe
a little further down.

Go to your LAYER PALETTE
Click on Layer2 to make it active.


Right click on the title bar of 'fine and bow' image and
select COPY from the options menu.


Right click on the title bar of your 'globe' image and
select PASTE AS NEW SELECTION from the options menu.

Position the 'fine and bow' at the top of your globe and
DESELECT

At this point I decided to crop the excess area
using the SELECTION TOOL set to Rectangle,
Feather = 0 and Antialias = UNchecked

Go to IMAGE >>> Crop to selection



Go to your LAYER PALETTE and click on Layer1 to make it active
Flood fill with a background of your choice.
I opted for a gradient




Close Layer1 by clicking on the 'glasses' in your LAYER PALETTE
Click on the Merged Layer.

Go to LAYERS >>> Merge >>> Merge Visible

With your SELECTION tool, still set to Rectangle,
draw a rectangle around you image.
Then click inside the rectangle so as to select the image.

Go to EFFECTS >>> 3D Effects >>> Drop Shadow.
Use these settings.



Click OK.

DESELECT


Go to your LAYER PALETTE and click on the 'glasses' on Layer1
to reopen it.

Go to LAYERS >>> Merge >>> Merge All (Flatten)

Your image is now ready to have a frame added
which I will leave up to you to do.




Save your image>

Now, if you'd rather have a Base....

Open up the Base tube in your PSP workspace.

Right click on the title bar of the 'Base' tube and
select COPY from the drop down options.


Right click on the title bar of the globe image and
select PASTE AS NEW SELECTION
from the drop down options.

Position the base as shown in the image below




Close Layer1 by clicking on the 'glasses' in your LAYER PALETTE
Click on the Merged Layer.

Go to LAYERS >>> Merge >>> Merge Visible

With your SELECTION tool, still set to Rectangle,
draw a rectangle around you image.
Then click inside the rectangle so as to select the image.

Go to EFFECTS >>> 3D Effects >>> Drop Shadow.
Use these settings.

DESELECT

At this point I decided to crop the excess area
using the SELECTION TOOL set to Rectangle,
Feather = 0 and Antialias = UNchecked

Go to your LAYER PALETTE and click on the 'glasses' on Layer1
to reopen it.

I decided to Flood fill Layer 1 with a Dark Blue
