I'm going to use this animation and the Globe Picturetube that we made earlier.



1.First I open the animation in Animation shop 3.
This opens it up in 3 frames.

2.Now you have to goto PSP 9 and open up a new image.
Make the size 400 x 400 and click the transparent box



3.Now click on the Picture tube icon,then use the down arrow to find the glass globe you made before.
Then click Raster Deform tool to move the Glass Globe to where you want it on the pic.
Then click the Move tool to deselect the picture.



Now the first picture in PSP 9 EDIT..COPY..Then goto ANIMATION SHOP 3




4.Now you need to go to edit..copy then close the glass globe pic without saving.
Now goto edit... PASTE..PASTE AS NEW IMAGE.

5.Now goto Layer..New Raster Layer..then click OK

6.Now goto the select tool and choose the shape as Eclipse.

7.Now move to the middle of the glass globe and draw a large eclipse in the globe leaving some spaces around the inside.



8.Now goto the flodd fill tool,it's the one above the text tool,have the OPACITY as 50,then place the flood fill tool inside the marching ants inside the glass globe and left click.

9.Now press CTRL and D to deselect the picture,then use the MOVE TOOL to get the Eclipse evenly spaced in the glass globe,then goto LAYERS..MERGE..MERGE VISIBLE.

Then goto EDIT..PASTE..PASTE as new image,do that twice so that you have 3 copies of the glass globe.

10.Now you need to goto the ANIMATION SHOP 3
Goto the first frame of the animation then EDIT..COPY

11.Back to the PSP 9..Open one of the glass globe pics and click onto the MAGIC WAND TOOL
You'll find it in the down arrow where the select is..one under the move tool.
Left click with the magic wand inside the eclipse inside the glass globe then goto EDIT..PASTE..PASTE INTO SELECTION Then press CTRL and D to deselect the picture.

12.Now back to the ANIMATION 3,then goto the second frame and EDIT..COPY

Back to PSP 9 and the next glass globe,do the magic wand then paste into selection.

13.Back to animation shop 3,edit copy the last frame then back to PSP 9,magic wand then edit..paste ..paste into selection.

Now you have the 3 animation frames all inside the 3 glass globes.
You can now use the sparkle picture tubes on all 3 glass globes.
Its important to only have the sparkles on the animation not on the glass globe as gifs dont accept partial transparent pictures.
Goto the picture tube icon and find the sparkles from the drop down arrow and place the sparkles around on the 3 pictures,space then out nicely,and have different places for the sparkles on each of the 3 pictures so that when its animated it will sparkle.

14.Goto the first picture in PSP 9,then goto EDIT..COPY
THEN goto the ANIMATION SHOP 3..Goto EDIT..PASTE.. AS NEW ANIMATION.

15.Now back to PSP 9,The second picture..EDIT..COPY
Back to ANIMATION SHOP 3 then EDIT..PASTE..AFTER CURRENT FRAME
The two glass globes will then be in the same animation.

16.Now back to PSP 9..The last picture..EDIT..COPY
Back to ANIMATION SHOP 3..EDIT..PASTE AFTER CURRENT FRAME

17.All 3 glass globes are now in the animation.
If you right click on each of the frames that will open up the individual timers and you can adapt the timers as it suits you.
If you click on the view animation icon you can see your animation work.



This is my finished glass globe animation
Sorry this was so long but I hope you learned a lot about both PSP 9 and Animation shop 3 from it.
