Tube of your choice, a black and white image.  I've used art of Olga Levchenko.  Please visit this talented artist here.
Font of your choice.  I used Davida, which you can download here.

Lets get started.  Open your tube, shift+D and close the original. 

Take your lasso selection tool, zoomed in on your image and select around your tubes outfit, or anything that you wish to colour.  If you need to select more than one thing, then make sure your lasso setting are set to Add.  If after selecting  your find something you have selected that you don't want to colour, (for example, the loop belt mine is wearing,) then change your lasso setting to remove, and go around the item to be removed.  (I then needed to change mine to add again, to select the circles within the loops.)  You'll see what I mean in the next part.

Now go to Adjust/Hue and Saturations/Colorize, and choose the colour you wish the outfit to be.  I decided on hot pink.  (You can see in the image how I managed to leave the belt out of the selection.)

Still selected, duplicate this layer two times, so that you have three copies of the image.  On the top layer go to Xenofex 2/Constellation, and add the following settings.

Do this on the other two layers, but hit the random speed for each layer.  You may now select none.

Increase your canvas size now to 500 x 500 to give you more room to work with.  Add a new raster layer, and drag to the bottom, flood fill with white.  On this bottom layer take your rectangle preset, background colour to match the colour you did your outfit, foreground black, and draw a rectangle around your tube, using the settings below.  See finished tag.

Convert to raster layer.  With your magic wand, feather 1, and click in the centre of your rectangle.  Next go to Tramages/Tow The Line, with the following settings.

Add a drop shadow of V=1, H=-1, Opacity 75, Blur 5, to each tube layer and the rectangle shape.

Now add your copyright, and your text.  For my text I'm using font Davida, at 72 using the same colour I used on my rectangle, black outline of 1.  Rotate 90^o to the left and stretch as desired.  Convert to raster and add the following inner bevel.

Add the same drop shadow you used before.  Crop around your image.  Now lets animate.  Hide your bottom two tubes, with your font layer active, copy merged, and paste into animations.  Go back into PSP and hide the top tube layer, and unhide the next one down.  Copy merged and paste in animation after current frame.  Do the same with the last tube layer. 

Click animate and save as a gif.

You are done.  I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.
