Rename this layer N2

Layers / New raster layer
Effects / Plugins / VDL snowflakes as follows
Change Random Seed to 10
Rename this layer N3

Selections/select none

Step 6

WE CREATE THE FRAME
As you know if we add a border
the tag level becomes single.
We have three levels of snow.
How can we do?
The solutions are 2:
we use canvas size or we make the frame separately.
Let's try to make the frame separately.
 

Step 7

Open a new transparent image 900x600 pixels
Image add border 1 px red - symetric (my color #C00000)
Image /Add border 5 px white - symetric
Image /Add border 20 px red -symetric
Image /Add border 2 px white - symetric
Select the red border (20 px) with the magic wand (mode Add-shift/tolerance 0)


Step 8
Effects/Texture effects/Weave as follows:

Effects/plugins/User defined filter/emboss 3
Selections/select none

Layers/promote background layer
with the magic wand select the white interior of the frame.
Press Delete Key
Selections/select none
The frame is completed

Now what do we do?
The solutions are 2
we import it into the PSP frames folder,
we give it a name and then we take it from : Image/Picture Frame
or
we read what is the frame size as follows:

Go back to the your main work
Go to the top layer
Image/Canvas size

Layers/new raster layer

Selections/select all
Maximize your work Cornice (Frame)
Edit/copy
go back to your main work: Edit/paste into selection
Selections/select none

With the magic wand, click in the center of the frame level to select it.

New raster layer
Effects /3D effects /cutout

Close the snow levels, the tubes and N1, N2, N3
Layers /merge/ merge visible.
Place the merged layer to the bottom.

Selections/select all

Selections/Modify/contract 28 px
Effects/Plugins/AAA FRAME /foto frame as follows:


Selections/select none

Sign your work or add your watermark to a new level

If you don't want to do the animation:
File / export / JPEG optimization

***

Step 9
let's go to Animation Shop

Open the tubes you closed earlier
Open N1 (N 2 and 3 are still closed)
Edit> copy special/copy merged
Open AS and paste as a new animation

Go Back to PSP, close N 1 and open N 2
Edit> copy special/copy merged

Go back to AS and paste after the current frame

Go Back to PSP, close N 2 and open N 3
Edit> copy special/copy merged

Go back to AS and paste after the current frame

In AS : Select all put as speed 20 and save as gif
