IT WAS HARD TO DO THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THIS, BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY VARIABLES, BUT HERE ARE THE BASICS.

IF THE PICTURE IS LARGE, YOU WILL WANT TO MAKE IT SMALLER SO IT IS WORKABLE.

ALL SIZES ARE OPTIONAL

BORDER 8X8 (COLOR)
BORDER 20X20 (TRANSPARENT )
BORDER 8X8
BORDER 20X20 TRANSPARENT
BORDER 8X8

YOU CAN DO THIS AS MANY TIMES AS YOU WANT, BUT IT WORKS BEST IF YOU KEEP THE COLORED BORDERS NARROW)

MAKE SURE YOU MAKE A NOTE OF THE SIZE
OUTPUT AS GIF (IMPORTANT)
SAVE
INPUT (DON'T FORGET TO ERASE URL)

MAKE BACKGROUND PLASMA DARKRED-DARKRED
(SO FAR I HAVE USED PLASMA AND GRADIENT - I THINK PATTERN WOULD WORK GOOD TOO)

BORDER 8X8 (EXAMPLE)
FX SWIRL - YOUR CHOICE - I USED 6000 FOR THE EXAMPLE
(IMPLODE - OPTIONAL)
COMP OVER WITH SAVED (USE YOUR COMP OF CHOICE)

DECORATE AND ENHANCE IF DESIRED


I LIKE USING THE SAME TWO COLORS IN MY PLASMA BG, BUT TWO DIFFERENT COLORS WORKS GOOD ALSO - GO FOR IT!

HERE IS MY FINISHED EXAMPLE:


I HAVE BEEN GETTING SOME AMAZING RESULTS WITH THIS. IF YOU WANT SOMETHING MORE SUBTLE, USE LIGHT COLORS IN YOUR BACKGROUND - BUT, AS USUAL, I WENT FOR RED!

HOPE YOU ENJOY.
