Step 2:
Duplicate each of the shape layers.
Hide the white background and the duplicate shape layers and merge all visible. Move to just above the white layer.
Apply Toadies What Are You? - Setting 15. Reduce the opacity to 54.
Unhide your shape layers one by one, resizing each layer by 85% as you do, All layers UNchecked, Bicubic selected.
Add the following drop shadow to each shape layer.
Vertical and Horizontal = 4
Opacity = 50
Blur= 4
Colour = Black
Repeat changing the Vertical and Horizontal to -2
You should have something like this (yours will be bigger as mine has been resized).
Activate the top layer and copy and paste your main tube as a new layer. Resize if neccessary.
Add a drop shadow of your choice or use the one below.
Vertical and Horizontal = 5
Opacity = 50
Blur= 5
Colour = Black
Add a new layer and add the artists copyright and your watermark.
Add your text using a font of your choice.
I am using Fusion size 72, Foreground black, Background colour from your tube (I am using red), Stroke 2.
Use your nodes to pull and stretch it to size and position. Convert to raster layer.
You can either leave it plain or add another Cybia Screen works preset of your choice.
Add the following Inner Bevel
Add the following Drop Shadow
