Animated Glitter Snowman

In this tutorial you will learn about layers and adding glitter to images.

I did this with paint shop pro version 9, but I think you will be able to

Do it in other versions just as well.

For this tutorial you will need the snowman pieces that I have already made and you will

also need the red and gold glitter tiles You can down load these here

Ok, lets get started.

1...First of all you will want to open up the snowman pieces and both the red and gold glitter 

tiles in paint shop pro.You can see the pieces are already there so all we have to do is put 

Frosty back together again.

2…Click on the Move Tool on the left side of the screen.

Use your mouse to adjust the pieces to make a snowman, like The one below.

3… Once you have the pieces the way you want them we will have to use the layer palette. If the

the layer palette isn’t already on the screen you can open it by going to :

View > Palettes > then over to Layers.

Tip…. You can also do this by clicking F8 on your keyboard.

It should look something like this.

4… Notice how each of the snowman has a different names ? Each one of these are layers.

Now we will want to make all the pieces into one layer. So we will have to merge them all together.

To do this…. Go to the top of the screen and click Layers, then move down to where

It says Merge, then > click Merge Visible.

Now the snowman is all one merged piece .

5... Now, in the layer palette we are going to change the name Merge to the name snowman 1.

To do this, go to the top of the screen and click… Layers then go down and click Properties.

You should now have a box like the one below.

Now go to where it says name and change the name to snowman 1

Your layer palette should now look like this…

6… Now we are going to make 2 duplicate layers of the snowman that you already have in the layer

palette. To do this, go back to the top of the screen and click …  Layer then click Duplicate.

7…. We will need one more layer so we will repeat step 6 again.

Now you should have 3 layers in your layer palette

8. Now we will want to rename the two layers you just made. So go over to the layer palette

palette and click on top of the one that says: Copy of snowman 1. Once you click on it, it should turn

blue. Now go back to the top and click …. Layers the go down and click properties. Should see

the same box as you did in step 5. Change the name this Time to snowman 2.
