This tutorial was written by Mizteeque on 13th June 2018 and assumes a working knowledge of psp

Written using psp9 but other versions should work just as well

Any similarity to other works is unintentional and purely coincidental

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

NOTE:  This is an animated tutorial

open blank canvas 700 x 700

floodfill white

text tool - kaleidoscopic mind

size 400

color black

type an f

objects - align in center

convert to raster

select all, float, defloat

new raster layer

floodfill with rainbow pastel gradient

linear, angle and repeats 0

new raster layer

floodfill again but change angle to 25

repeat but change angle to 50

continue repeat increasing angle by 25 each time

until you get to angle 325 (you should end up with 13 gradient layers)

expand selection by 2

back on black layer

floodfill black again

deselect

dropshadow 0,0,40,13,black

copy and paste tube as new layer, bring to top

resize so it fits inside the circle

a misted or soft edged tube is best for this

change blend mode to luminance legacy

lower opacity a little if you think it needs it

c/p wordart as new layer

add your name, copyright and license information

ok now it gets interesting!

close all layers except white background, black outline, bottom gradient and tube

copy merged

open AS, paste as new animation

back in PSP

close bottom gradient

open next one up

copy merged

back to AS, paste after current frame

back to PSP

repeat until all the gradient layers have been copied over

crop and save as gif
