Snowglobe with Base

Download Tubes & Grapic

Using your Eye Drop Tool get a background color for your new Image.

File>New Image at 600 Width, 600 Height color of  your choice. Using Browse bring in your Bubble Tube and Fish Graphic and put them side by side. I have resized both for you for this Tutorial, usually you would go to VIEW>NORMAL to decide if ether needed to be Resized. You resize both Tubes and Graphics in IMAGE>RESIZE.

Move your Gray Bubble around on Graphic until you get the Image inside that you want. Be careful not to let it touch the sides of the Graphic as I did in the above picture! For the next step you will need to have space on all sides of the Bubble or it will not work.

Using your Magic Wand tool click on any part of the Background OUTSIDE the Gray Bubble. Your Marching ants should be both around the Gray Bubble and on the outer edge of the Gaphic.

Number of Pizels we want is 1

Now you Can EDIT>CUT

If this does not work Edit Undo and redo exactly as I have above. If  you do 1 step out of order it may not work. People who have a problem with Snowglobes find this is the step that confuses them.  What we are doing here is picking an area to select because it's the only part we want. We then are merging the background and Bubble Tube together or we would only get a Bubble when we cut. With Modify we are chooseing  only to take 1 pixel around the modifacation when we cut.
