The idea is make the text look like it is sucking up the image.
Step 1
Select a cleaned tube and place it on a transparent background to the
right side.
Step 2
Add a new layer, select the text tool, choose font fill (solid color,
gradient or pattern), click inside the image, select font and add your
text. Find the area of the image that sticks out the farthest to
the left and that is the vertical placement for your text, move the text
to that spot. Next, to get the look of the text sucking in the image,
move the text so that it starts to the left of the image but ends on the
image.
Step 3
Use the rectangle selection tool with anti-alias unchecked to select
close to the edges of the image and then crop to the selection. Do NOT
merge layers. Save as psp file.
Step 4
From the 'File/Jasc Software Products' option, launch Animation Shop.
Open the psp image you just saved.
Step 5
Image opens with only the bottom layer visible.
Step 6
Open the Effects/Image transitions function.
Step 7
In the Image Transitions window, set the transition preset to 'Twist',
under the 'Start with' and 'End with' image, make sure 'Animation
Frame' is checked. In the Transition window is the preview of the
animation with those settings. Click OK.
Step 8
To check animation, click the animation button and animation window
will open with animating image.
Step 9
Save gif file to folder you want it in.
Final animated image
Placement is the essence of the building. Where you place your
text in correlation to where you place the image determines the animation
of the final image.
