| DESCRIPTION:
Make
a stylish Sig Tag with
PI and different filters from Toadies.
This tag was made after
a challenge for a German PI Board ... "Make a taggie with
at least 3 filters from Toadies". And that's the result.

picture (2) and paste (Ctrl+V) the copy on it.
Right click/Align/Center

Minimize the "original" tube (1).

Effect/Toadies (red arrow)/Blast'n Blur (white arrow) and
use these settings (1):

For the next step you are using this white image. |

should now have two images like my ones in front of you:
1 = Black canvas with the tube +
