1. Open a new image, size= 400 x 400, with Transparent bkgd box checked
   Right click on layer in Layer Palette, Re name as "Bkgd"



2. Also Browse for your chocolate bar--the PspImage that you saved


• Be sure you are clicked on your chocolate candy-bar
• The top bar of image is bright-colored, not grayed-out, and layers palette shows the chocolate raster layers, and name of image is .pspimage
• Do Shift d to copy, and close the original Pspimage of chocolate
• Go to Layer Palette and click on top layer to highlite
• Go to Layers, Merge, Merge Visible so you have 1 merged layer
• Put down in corner, out of way, but handy for later



3. Click on new large image to select it



4. Go to Layer Palette, make new raster layer, name it "foil 1"



5. Select Picture Tubes and find kot_foil picture tube


• Scale= 76, Continuous, Incremental
• Place large foil piece to right side
• Use Move Tool to position foil


6. Now let's get the chocolate!


• Click on your merged chocolate bar
• Go to Edit, Copy
• Click back on large new image to select it
• Go to Edit, Paste, Paste as new layer
• Name this new layer as "Chocolate"
• Now you have 3 layers: bkgd, foil, and chocolate
• The chocolate layer should be above the "foil 1" layer




7. Use the Move Tool to adjust placement of chocolate and the foil

Save as PspImage often

8. Go to Layers Palette, highlite layer named "foil 1"


• Make new raster layer, name it "foil 2"
• Be sure "foil 2" is Below the chocolate layer
• Move the chocolate layer to the top by dragging it, if you need to
• OK, make sure layer "foil 2" is highlited in Layer Palette
• Activate Picture Tube Tool, apply small piece of foil
• The scale for tube is still= 76
• The foil should be Behind the chocolate
• Place where you want it--I put mine at bottom left corner of bar



9. Back at Layers Palette, highlite "foil 1" again


• Make new raster layer, name it "foil 3"
• Again, this new foil layer should be below the chocolate layer
• Activate Picture Tube Tool, apply last small piece foil to "foil 3" layer
• Size still= 76, or change if you want
• All 3 pieces of foil are behind the chocolate




• Large piece of foil is in back= "foil 1"
• Next is "foil 3", then above that is "foil 2"
• Chocolate is top layer, above the foil wrapper pieces
• You can get creative with the wrapper, add more foils if you want


• I put piece 3 near right corner of chocolate bar, overlapping a bit
• Use Move Tool to arrange foil wrapper how you like

Save as PspImage often

10. Crop entire picture



11. Export as a jpg this time for more colors in foil


• Quality compressed to 11
• Here is pic with white background instead of the ecru
• A jpg has white background--you can make bg the color of page you'll show it on
