OPEN A NEW IMAGE 4OOX400 BACKGROUND TRANSPARENT. WE WILL RESIZE THE IMAGE AT THE END, BUT A LARGE WORKSPACE IS EASIER TO WORK WITH. OPEN YOUR TUBE AND EDIT >COPY. CLICK ON YOUR NEW BLANK IMAGE TO REACTIVATE IT AND EDIT>PASTE AS NEW LAYER. RESIZE AS NECESSARY. IDEALLY YOU WANT A VERY LARGE BORDER. IMAGE>RESIZE. MAKE SURE RESIZE ALL LAYERS IS NOT TICKED
DUPLICATE IMAGE. MAKE SURE YOUR LOWER RASTER LEVEL IS ACTIVE AS IT IS THE BACK IMAGE WE ARE GOING TO TRANSFORM. I suggest you use the following settings, choosing a lighter colour from your tube. Play, experiment, make it your own. You can choose to add a gaussian blur to make a softer effect.
Adjust > Blur> Gaussian Blur>Radius 15.00. Select the font of your choice and the colours patterns of your choice to add wording. I recommend you have your font settings as Create as Vector as this creates a new layer. Position your text to the height you require and then use the following command to centre it. Go to Objects>Align>Horiz.Centre in Canvas MERGE VISIBLE LAYERS. Finally resize your image down to 250pixels. OPTIONAL Select a colour from your image using the dropper tool Fill bottom layer with colour (Raster One Layer). Select Image>Picture Frame and choose any frame.
