Go to your layer pallet and right click on your mask layer then delete it. Click yes when prompted. Then merge group. Open your VArtEasel and resize by 80% smart size two times. Copy your easel and paste as a new layer and move to the left side of the tag. Add dropshadow with these settings.
Go to your magic wand with settings Tolerance 20, Feather 0, Anti Alias checked, outside. Click on white canvas. Go to Selections then down to Modify, Expand.
Expand by 2. Now open 7 images from the same artist. Copy 1st image. Add a new raster layer to your working canvas. Paste 1st image into selection. DO NOT DESELECT UNTIL WE ARE FINISHED WITH ALL 7 IMAGES.

Type out your text and position where you think it looks best. Add correct copyrights and your watermark. Now make sure all your Image layers have the eye Xed out . Highlight your bottom layer which should be your black layer. Go to Layer, Merge, Merge Visible.

Back in PSP turn off visibility of Image 3. Highlight Image 4 turn back on the visibility. Copy then in animation shop paste after current frame. Back in PSP repeat previous actions for Image 5, 6 & 7. Once you have pasted Image 7 after your current frame you should have 7 frames in animation shop. Click on your first frame in animation shop to highlight it. Then right click and copy. Then highlight frame 7 and paste image 1 after current frame. Go back to frame 1 and highlight it again. Go to effects, Insert Image Transition.

Click on the visibility of your merged layer and highlight that layer. Copy and paste as a new animation in animation shop.
