Go to LAYERS >>>New Raster Layer (Layer3)

RIGHT click on the title bar of your second duplicated SANTA image
Select COPY from the drop down options

RIGHT click on the title bar of your second Kaleidoscope image
Select PASTE AS NEW SELECTION
from the drop down options

Go to IMAGE >>> Resize >>> 80%
Make sure the "Resize all layers" is UNCHECKED




Centre your image.


GO to EFFECTS >>>Sharpen >>> Sharpen


Go to EFFECTS >>> 3D Effects >>> Drop Shadow
Use same settings as before.

DESELECT

Go to IMAGE >>> Resize
Use these settings




Go to your LAYER PALETTE
Close Layer2 by clicking on the 'glasses'.



Go to LAYERS >>>Marge >>> Merge visin;e

Go to EFFECTS >>> Sharpen >>> Sharpen


You will notice that since the drop shadow was done
the image has moved slightly to the right of your canvas

So with your SELECTION tool
Same settings as before
"Draw" a rectangle around your image so as to reduce the space
on the left hand side of your image



Go to IMAGE >>> Crop to selection.

Go to your LAYER PALETTE
Click on Layer2 to open it up and make it active


Now... you have a couple of options depending
on how you are going to use your image...

You can save it as a .psp image (tube)
so that depending on how you are going to use it you can add
a background to match whatever you're working on...
like a web page, perhaps.

OR
You could add some TEXT by adding a new layer,
inserting your TEXT, add your background and then
merging all the layers prior to saving.

OR
You can add a background now, then add a frame to finish it off,
which we are going to do here

This is a simple frame... I would love to see what you come up with *S*



Flood fill this layer with WHITE

With your EYEDROPPER tool select the GREEN from the Image
as your Background Colour.

Go to IMAGE >>> Add Borders
Use these settings




With your MAGIC WAND
Settings:
Match Mode = RGB Value
Tolerance = 0
Feather = 0
Sample Merged = UNchecked

Select the green border area



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




Click OK

Repeat the drop shadow
but this time change the Horizontal and Vertical settings to - (minus) 2

Click OK.

With your EYEDROPPER tool select the RED from the Image
as your Background Colour.

Go to IMAGE >>> Add Borders
This time make the border size = 5

With your MAGIC WAND
Settings as before
Select the red border area
and apply the drop shadow effects again.




I hope you enjoyed doing this tutorial.
