Open a new canvas 750x580 PX transparent

Fill the canvas with a dark color from your tube – mine is #82785c

Now place your watermark on a new layer

8.)

Activate the mask layer

Effects –Plugins - Alien Skin_Xenofex 2.0_Constellation

Edit – copy all layers

Open the Animation shop – paste as new animation

Back to PSP – undo the Constellation – redo it, click on random seed once

Edit – copy all layers

Back to the animation shop – paste after current layer

Repeat this procedure one more time – so that you have 3 layers of animation

In the Animation shop – Edit – select all – set the frame properties to 20
