Make sure that animation is open
Make sure that PSP is open
Step 1:
Take the glitter and drag it into animation - it will open as many frames as it took to make the animation
Take your image and drag it into animation - if it says that its not supported, then you will have to save it in .psp format
Minimize your image
Step 2:
Glitter
Edit/Select All
Re-size as needed.. I resized this to 300 on the longest side, but that can vary depending on how big or small you need it
Take your image and re-size it to be smaller than the glitter, (I re-sized mine to 200)
Step 3:
On both the image and glitter Frames
Edit/Select All
Edit/Copy - the image
Edit/Paste Into Selected Frame - Glitter
View/Animation
Step 4:
To add your watermark onto the glittered image
Go to PSP
Open a transparent image
Add your watermark
Crop around your watermark

Step 5:
