What we will do now is add the final touches to each of the images. On the first duplicate copy, you will go to the layer palette and keep layer snow 1 and delete (or Trash) snow 2 and snow 3. You do that by clicking on snow2, then clicking on the garbage can, and when the window pops up asking you if you want to delete it, click OK. Then click on snow3 and do the exact same step. On the second duplicate copy you will keep the snow 2 layer and delete the snow 1 and snow 3 layers. On the third duplicate copy you will keep snow 3 and delete the snow 1 and snow 2 layers. We will finish off by adding a simple line border around the edges. It is very important that, during this step, you do the exact same thing to each of the three images. Whether you do a simple technique like this or add a picture frame, they must be all kept identical or they will end up animating along with your globe. Our borders will be the same grey we used for the background and black. Make sure those are selected in your window. The colours again are #7E8697 and #000000. Make your first duplicate the active window and then go to the menu "Image.. add borders". Using the black, you are going to add a symmetrical border of 1. A window will pop up saying that before you can add a border you must be working on a single layer, so do you want to merge all the layers? Click OK and the computer will do it for you. Using the grey next, add a symmetrical border of 3 and then finish off by adding a symmetrical black border of 5. It is your choice whether you add all the borders to one picture at a time or whether you add a border of 1 to each of the 3 images, then add a border of 3 to each of the images, etc. I personally add the border of 1 to each of the three images to make sure I am keeping everything identical. The last step is to name each one and save it as a PSP file. For example, I would call these mountA, mountB, and mountC. Just remember in which folder you save them so you can find them quickly once you enter Animation Shop. We are now ready to complete our wonderful snowglobe creation.
