Resize your tube to 50%, paste in the center, duplicate twice, mirror one and move to the left and the other to the right, having the center one being the bottom one, apply Mura Meister Copies-Line with the 1/n fade out checked, change the blend mode to Luminance(L) and add the Xero filter-Fritillary with the same settings as before.

 

Duplicate the one on the right, Adjust, Blur, Gaussian blur at 5, change the blend mode to Screen, apply Xero filter-Soft Vignette with these settings

The tube on the left, duplicate, Blur, Gaussian blur at 5, change the blend mode to overlay and add the Soft Vignette again with the same settings, merge down and then merge visible.

 

Take your Selection tool, draw out a small rectangle across the top on the fur of the hats, add a new layer, fill with white, change the blend mode to Soft light, then go to Effects, Edge Effects,

Enhance once, then go back and Enhance two or three times, duplicate, flip.

 

Type out what you would like, I typed out

I made a gradient with Red and Green for the wording also.

Don't merge just yet.

 

Avator

Open a new image a size for your group or forum, close off the wordart, copy your signature tag and place how you like, resize to fit, merge visible, add the frame to both, add your copyright and name.

 

If you would like to do the circle one, take your preset tool and the circle, with a width of 2 or 3, foreground color of choice, close off background color and draw a circle to fit your size you are using, then click inside with your magic wand, expand by 1, paste your resize signature tag, invert, delete, move below and add noise if you like, merge visible.

 

AAA Frames-Foto Frame

Change the default color to the red and black, now add your copyright and name.

 

That's it

Hope you enjoyed doing my tut.
