Lisa and SDH provided the beautiful tubes.

No outside filters needed.

********

Change your foreground color to #F4DAC3

and your background color to 3C434E.

Make a gradient:

Angle = 0

Repeats = 0

Invert = checked

Style = Linear.

We're ready to begin.

1. Open 'LisaG+_Tubes_BeautygirlSeries_034.pspimage'.

Copy and close the original.

Remove the background as well as watermark layers

 in your Layers palette.

2. Add a new raster layer and floodfill with the gradient.

Add another new raster layer and fill with the gradient again.

The lady tube will be invisible now, but don't worry about

that now :-))

3.  Effects -- Reflections Effects -- Feedback

Opacity = 80

Intensity = 74

Horizontal offset = 9

Vertical offset = 16

Elliptical = unchecked.

4. Effects --  Edge Effects -- Enhance More.

5. Duplicate this layer in your Layers palette.

Image -- Mirror.

Reduce the opacity of this layer to 50%.

6. Now drag the lady-layer to the top

in the Layers palette.

Shift the other layers somewhat to the left

so that the pattern is more visible.

7. Highlight the lady-layer (activate)

Apply a drop shadow with these settings:

 -3  -3  70  15,00.

8. If everything is okay now you can merge all layers.

9. Add a 1px background color.

Add a 20px border in the foreground color.

Select the border with the Magic Wand

and fill with the gradient.

10. Effects -- Texture Effects -- Blinds:

Width = 100

Horizontal = checked

Light from Left/ Top = checked.

11. Effects -- Edge Effects -- Enhance More.

Effects -- Edge Effects -- Enhance.

Deselect (Ctrl+D)

13. Add a border with 'symmetrical' not checked.

Fill in these values in the pop-up window:

Top, Left and bottom = 0

Right = 180

Color = foreground color.

14. Select the rose-level

with the Magic Wand.

Add a new raster layer and fill with the gradient.

15. Effects -- Reflections Effects -- Feedback:

Opacity = 100

Intensity = 75

Horizontal offset = 9

Vertical offset = -25

Elliptical = unchecked.

16. Effects -- Edge Effects -- Enhance More.

17. Duplicate this layer in your Layers palette.

It becomes a floating layer.

Right-click on it and convert selection to raster layer.

Image -- Mirror.

Reduce the opacity to 50%.

Merge layers visible.

18. Open the 'lipstick #003~sdh.psp' image.

Copy and paste as a new layer onto the canvas.

Effects -- 3D Effects -- Drop Shadow

with these settings:   -3  -3  70  15,00.

Merge all layers.

19. Add a 5px border in the background color.

Select the border with the Magic Wand.

Effects -- 3D Effects -- Inner Bevel:

20. Deselect (Ctrl+D)

Image -- Resize in pixels:

width =550

Adjust -- Sharpness -- Sharpen - 1x.

21. Change the colors around in your Colors Palette.

Your foreground color should be blue now.

Change back to the color from the gradient

in your foreground color palette.

22. Activate your Pen Tool:

Line style = solid

Width =1

Anti-alias = checked.

Draw a few lines from the square

as seen in the example while holding down your Shift key.

Don't do step 21 and 22 if you don't have a steady hand :)

Your tag is finished.

You will need an additional background image

if you want to use the script.
