Now you can use the DBS Flux filter or the noise in your psp program.

settings: 24--check uniform, check monchrome, click ok.

Xout ball 2, UnX ball 3, repeat noise, but change the setting to 32.
When you noise has been applied, X out ball 3 and 2 layers.
This is how your layers should look.

If you would like to add a paint brush embellishment, add a new raster layer about the blur layer and add your brush work.
Now we are going to begin to animated those layers.
Merge visible, copy, and paste into animation shop as a new animation.
Back to PSP, undo merge, X wing 1, X dress 1, X ball 1.
UnX wing 2, dress 2, ball 2--merge visible, copy and paste into animation shop after current frame.
Back to PSP. Undo merge.
X wing 2, X dress 2, X ball 2--UnX wing 3, dress 3 and ball 3.
Merge visible, copy and paste into animation shop after current frame.
You now have 3 frames in animation shop.
Photobucket
Edit, select all, animation, animation frame properties set at 18.
View your animation, if you're happy with it, save as .gif
Way to go! You're finished.
Hope you have enjoyed this tut.
**Remember you can add any text to a finished animation.**
This tut was written by me April 1 2008.
Any resemblance to other tuts is purely coincidental.
All Pspers have at one time used the same filters.
