Open the template & mask in psp - on the template delete the credits layer - image - canvas size - set to 850 x 750 - unhide the background layer & fill with white

On the blue frame back layer select it with your magic wand - fill with a gradient (Two colours from your tube, choose gradient, repeats 3, angle 45) - copy & paste your tube as a new layer - position to the left of the frames - it doesn't matter if it overlaps into the middle frames - selections - invert - hit delete - selections - none - duplicate your tube - image - mirror - merge together

Duplicate your tube layer - adjust - blur - gaussian blur - 3.00 - change the blend mode to soft light (depending on your tube you might want to play around with the blend modes) - effects - plugins - vanderlee - pattern offset
