Level: Intermediate
Featured tools: Transform Tool, Pick Tool, Retouch Tool
Additional filters: None
Additional files: 2 tubes, 1 scrap element, 1 mask,
1 background, 1 object and 1 text-file

IMPORTANT NOTE:  
Supplies: One tube is from Suzy Sgai and one from Evereves  - thank you both for your wonderful work! 
The scrap element and the mask are from the internet, the text-file I've made myself for this tutorial 
and the background is from Shady Medusa (I've changed a little bit of the background to fit the tubes -
you'll find the original background on Shady Medusas site. )
You are allowed to download the material here and use it for your private use, 
but you are not allowed to change the name of the tubes/scrap element/mask/background/object or text-file,
delete the watermark, neither offer them for sale or download. 
The copyright © belongs ALWAYS to the original artist/designer!
No copyright infringement is intended.

Remember to save often!

Before we start, you should open the masks, and store them into your Easy Palette. 
In case you need to freshen up your memory on how to save a mask into the EP - you can take a look at one of my other tutorials,
  where I explain a little bit more about how to use a mask in PI. You'll find the tutorial here.
Important - in my tutorials my masks fit the chosen background/object ... 
you achieve this by right clicking any mask inside the original category Mask Library in your Easy Palette. 
Now you choose the option Fit Mask. 

Very important: Do NOT merge the pictures before I tell you to do so!
