.................................................

open canvas 500 x 250 pixels floodfill with a white background

copy and paste the texture as a new layer, and arrange so that the line across the texture goes across the bottom of the canvas

arrange 3 images of the same artist to your liking across the canvas, each on a new layer

then duplicate the texture layer and bring to the top

do this by going to - Layers -  Arrange - bring to top

then change the blend mode of the top texture to screen by going to 

layers - properties -  change the blend mode from normal to screen

click ok

then add a new raster layer floodfill with white

go to selection all -  modify - contract by 3 then

hit the delete button on your keyboard to remove the excess...

this should give you a white edge

go to selections - none

then go to adjust - add/remove noise -  add noise and

in the pop up menu that appears, make your settings

the same as mine see below...

now is a good time to add your copyright

next, add a new layer and do the same for your name...I used Dr Carbfred  font

with the following settings, background white, foreground null


convert to raster layer then duplicate the text
and on the bottom text layer add a drop shadow
i used the following settings

then make the top text layer your active layer simply by clicking on it

then add the same noise settings as before......
you can now save your tag as a jpg.

then click undo to remove the noise effect on your name

then add noise again but change the noise setting to 40

go to - copy merged and paste into animation shop after current frame

go back to PSP

repeat and change noise to 30
go to - copy merged and paste into animation shop after current frame
