If you'd like to add your name to this Animation then right click and save picture as....
The following pictures will be reduced by 50% for easier loading
but the finished animated tag will be of the right size :)
Open Animation Shop.
This can be found by opening your Paint Shop Pro. clicking on File,
then Jasc Software products then by clicking on Open up or Launch Animation Shop.
Once you have Animation Shop open, open up your
favourite animation tag or the one above that you've saved.
Click on the first frame. This one has three frames.
Put your cursor on the top of the box and right click
... choose copy.
Now go to Paint Shop Pro and right click on the screen and paste as a new image.
The reason we are now copying just one frame over to PSP
is so that you can now add your text with the right size,
colours and text of your choice, and what suits the animation :)
On your layer pallette you will see that the image is called a background.
We need to make this into a layer so double click the
background layer and your layer menu box will pop up.
Click ok.
Now add a layer.We do this by clicking on the 'pages' icon
at the top of your pallette Bar - you will now have 2 layers
showing. Make sure that you have layer 2 highlighted.
Now click on your Text Tool  then click on your image.
Up will pop your text menu and you can now choose which
font, colour and size you'd like, making sure that you have
the name highlighted at all times and that 'Floating' and
'AntiAlias' are ticked..
Once you are happy with the way your text looks click ok
You will now have your image with your name on it but
surrounded by 'marching ants'. Keep these as is, as we
are now going to bevel the text and then add a drop
shadow to it. *** DO NOT MERGE ***
Now we are going to add a bevel to it so click on Effects, then 3D Effects, then Bevel.
I used these settings but have a play and see what you like best :)
*** DO NOT MERGE ***
Now we are going to add a shadow to your text :) so we
once again go to Effects, 3D Effects, then Drop Shadow
These are the settings I used but once again, have a
play around with them and see if you prefer another setting.
*** DO NOT MERGE ***
Place your cursor at the top bar of your image and right click.
Click copy, then right click on your PSP screen and click
'Paste as New Image'.This is what it should look like.
Once again place your cursor at the top bar of your name image,
right click, then click copy.
