started
open new file 500x500

on each side of the arrow to close the ends of your
rainbow. convert to raster layer merge

rainbow gradient (I used the rainbow pasel gradient)

blur - guassian blur 10
add your tube and your
text on a seperate layer. I used a dark color from
my tube for the foreground and the rainbow gradient as
the background.
using your crop tool crop your
image
anything that you have behind the rainbow
image you can merge
If it is in front of the
rainbow merge these layers, but do not merge the rainbow
layer. OK now click on the rainbow image decrease
opacity to 60 then duplicate twice On each layer
of the rainbow effects plug-ins dsb flux bright
noise 50
now make 2 more copies of your other
layers. x out all but 1 copy of each layer and merge
visible. continue to do this until you have a copy of
each layer merged.
rename layers if you want
to as layer 1, 2 etc.
open animation shop
click on the first layer of your image and
add as new animation 2nd layer add after current
frame third layer copy add after current
frame animation properties should be defaul setted to
10 and that is fine.
Now view animation if
you like it save the file If you would like to
resize it, in animation shop edit, select all frames
animation, resize animation and then save. (I resized
my image by 75%)
