Poison
This tutorial was written by me on September 3, 2022. The results are of my own imagination. Any resemblance to another tutorial is purely coincidental.
Please DO NOT claim this tutorial as your own.
This was written assuming you have a working knowledge of PS.
Please keep in mind that I write the tutorial as I am creating it.
Sometimes I may not explain properly where to place things so please see my example if you are ever in doubt :)
Supplies needed
I am using Adobe Photoshop 2022 but this tutorial should work with any version.
You can download the 7 day trial of PS here.
PTU Kit: I am using a gorgeous kit called "Poison" created by Hania's Design. You can purchase her beautiful kit here. This kit includes a gorgeous tube by Nocturne which I will be using for this tutorial.
FTU Animation: I am using Sophisticat Simone's awesome animation called Crazy Bats with Glitter. You can download it from her blog here. I will show you how to use both animations in one tag.
Font of choice for your name.
Plug in: None
Drop shadow of choice.
Please read all the Artist's/Designer's TOU.
To open an image, I click on the element or paper in the file folder and drag it into PS.
To transfer an element or paper in PS to my tag, I left click and drag it into my working canvas.
The other way is to left click and drag the element from the folder right onto your tag.
Either way you will get the same results but the resizing will be different :). I will be using both methods for this tutorial.
For resizing and rotating I use the Ctrl+T command.
To mirror or Flip go to Edit>Transform>Flip Horizontal (mirror) or Flip vertical (Flip).
Remember to save often.

Click on the image to enlarge it
Oh almost forgot we need to drop shadow all of our elements. I actually do the drop shadow at the end :)
Select the element on the bottom of your tag (not the mask layers) in the layer pallet and double click it.
A layer style window will pop up. Click on Drop shadow. and use the following settings.
Click on the image to enlarge it.
Now click on the layer above and hold down the shift key, select the top layer. Right click and paste layer styles.
Drop shadow complete :)
Select the tube layer, right click and duplicate.
Standing on the duplicate layer, right click and clear layer style. Go to Filter, Blur, Gaussian Blur and type in 3. Click ok. Holding down the Ctrl Key, click on the thumb nail of the original tube. You should see marching ants. Still standing on the duplicate layer, go to Layer>Layer Mask>Reveal Selection. Change the blend mode to soft light and lower the opacity to around 40%.
Add your copyright and name.
If you do not want to animate. Hide the white background layer Save your tag and export as png.
Might want to grab a coffee :)
Open Simone's Sparkle animation psd file in PS. You will notice that there is 25 layers in this animation and it does not have the group layer.
We need to group all odd the layers. Starting from layer 25, hold down your control key and select each odd layer so the next one will be 23 then 21 etc. Once all the odd layers are selected (the layers will be highlighted in blue) we need to group them. All odd layers selected?
Next we need to group these layers. Go to Layers, Group layers or Ctrl + G on the Keyboard. You will see group 1 folder at the top. Make sure Group 1 is selected.
Select the layer you would like the animation to be placed. I selected the element 116 layer.
Back to the animation. Click on Group 1 and drag it into your tag. Ctrl+T and resize 87%. Move to the center of the door mask just left of the arch.
Close the original animation and don't save changes.
Click on the little white arrow beside Group 1 to expand it. Click on the eyeball of each layer to hide it but leave frame layer 1 visible. Click on the arrow beside group one to hide it as we do not want to accidentally make any changes.
I am using two animations for this tag.
Open Simone's Crazy Bat animation psd file in PS. You will notice that there is 25 layers in this animation and it does not have the group layer.
We need to group all odd the layers. Starting from layer 25, hold down your control key and select each odd layer so the next one will be 23 then 21 etc. Once all the odd layers are selected (the layers will be highlighted in blue) we need to group them. All odd layers selected?
Next we need to group these layers. Go to Layers, Group layers or Ctrl + G on the Keyboard. You will see group 1 folder at the top. Make sure Group 1 is selected.
Select the layer you would like the animation to be placed. I selected the the sparkle group layer.
Back to the animation. Click on Group 1 and drag it into your tag. Ctrl+T and resize 63%. Move to the top right over the tree.
Close the original animation and don't save changes.
Click on the little white arrow beside Group 1 to expand it. Click on the eyeball of each layer to hide it but leave frame layer 1 visible. Click on the arrow beside group one to hide it as we do not want to accidentally make any changes.
Next make sure your Timeline viewer is open on the bottom of PS. I you do not see a row that has Animation (Frames) on the bottom, go to Windows, Timeline.
Next is animating.
Click on the little icon (four white lines) at the right end of the animation screen then select make frames from layers.
You are going to see a big mess in the animation window but we are going to fix this.
Click on the first frame and click on the trash can in the animation window. Repeat this until you reach the first frame of the animation.
Now you should be at the first frame of the animation. Click on frame 14 and hit the trash can. Repeat for all the remaining frames. You should be left with 13 frames in the animation window. This is the amount of frames for our animations.
This next step is very important. Any changes you do from here you must be on frame 1 in the Timeline viewer unless otherwise stated.
Go to the bottom of your tag in the layers pallet. Make sure you have animation frame 1 selected.
Click on the eyeball beside each layer to make it visible. Do not touch the group layer and do not make any of the second animation visible.
Now we are going to add the second animation to the timeline.
Select Frame 1 in the Timeline Viewer. Now click on the plus sign (or duplicate selected frame next to the trash can).
Now select frame 2.
Expand your second animation (Crazy bat) and click on the eyeball of the group. Now unhide layer 1 of this animation. No not make any other changes.
Select frame 1 in the timeline viewer and delete it.
Next, select frame 2, unhide layer 3 of the animation.
Frame 3, unhide layer 5 of the animation.
Frame 4, unhide layer 7 of the animation.
Frame 5, uunhide layer 9 of the animation.
Frame 6, unhide layer 11 of the animation.
Frame 7, unhide layer 13 of the animation.
Frame 8, unhide layer 15 of the animation.
Frame 9, unhide layer 17 of the animation.
Frame 10, unhide layer 19 of the animation.
Frame 11, unhide layer 21 of the animation.
Frame 12, unhide layer 23 of the animation.
Frame 13, unhide layer 25 of the animation.
Next, I want to slow down the animation. With the first frame selected, hold down the shift key and click on frame 13. This will select all the frames.
Next, click on the little black arrow beside the 0 sec as we want to change the speed. A pop up window will appear.
I selected 0.2 Sec. Now click on the play button to view the animation. Click on it again to stop it.
Click frame 1 again so we don't accidentally make any changes.
Now to save our tag as a gif.
Go to File>Export>Save for Web(Legacy).
A new pop up window will appear. Change the settings to my screen shot below. Click on the image to enlarge it if needed. Click save. My screen shot will look different but the settings are the same.
I hope you have enjoyed my tutorial. I would love to see your results.
