25.) Add ALL Copy rights and your name..Save as PNG.

Alternate Background

26.) Instead of using a mask--I used a background to give it the illusion of a forest.--then just Merge Visible All layers--Add all Copyrights and name--then save it as PNG..

I have an alternate tag below--Hope you enjoyed my tut.

30.) close out all layers above the fountain,close out fountain..then merge visible all layers below fountain---rename bottom.
31.) now close out bottom, open all layers above fountain (except puppy--keep closed) --merge visible all layers--rename top
32.) Now resize all layers 63%--sharpen all layers-there should be 4--bottom--fountain--top---puppy
Add all Copyrights and now lets animate
open fountain layer
33.) Duplicate fountain layer 2X = 3 layers
close out top 2 layers--now working on the bottom layer--first you want to get your lasso tool--(freehand selection tool) point to point--add shift--feather=1--smoothing=0--anti-alias--checked
go around the outside of fountains water as shown in EX.2

on #1-- go to vanderlee snowflakes--these settings:
amt= 250
Min. =0
max. = 20
Hard.= 100
Tran. = 0
Basic = Icy Blue
Random seed = 1
close out-layer 1
open layer 2-= add same filter change random seed to--20
close out 2--open layer 3---change random seed to--30.
close out layer 3
Open animation shop.
Open all layers but 2 and 3 of animated fountain
copy merged and place into animation shop as a new animation.
close out ani.1--open ani. 2--copy merged and paste after current frame.
close out ani.2 and open ani. 3---copy merged and paste after current frame.
Now you should have 3 frame layers--once your happy.
save as gif.
Thanks for trying my tut.
