| Animated Peacock-2 © Lux 2002 
Open a new transparent canvas 600x600.
The canvas is a little big , you can crop it later.
Put the peacock's body in the layer, name this layer as P body1. Add another layer, put the peacock's long feather we just made, in the middle like this and name that layer as Feather1.See the screen shot. Now duplicate the body (P body1) layer, drag that layer above the feather layer,name it as Pbody2. Add another layer ,put the long feather and rotate it by 25Degree, Sharpen it and place it like this and name it as Feather2. 
Next duplicate the body layer again, drag that above the feather2 layer and name it as Pbody3.
Now duplicate the Feather2 layer , then Image -Mirror, place it like this and name it as Feather3. Like this repeat these steps , Placing body and feathers alternatively and feather should be rotated 25 Degree right for each alternate feather layer.ie, Feather2=Feather1 25 Degree right Feather3=Mirrorimage of Feather2
Feather4=Feather2 25 Degree right Feather5=Mirror image of feather4
Feather6=feather4 25 Degree right Feather7=Mirror image of feather6
Feather8=feather6 25 Degree right Feather9=Mirror image of feather8
Feather10=feather8 25 Degree right Feather11=Mirror image of feather10 Sharpen after each rotation.Now you have an image like this. Now there are 22 layers in total. To make it easy , we can merge corresponding body layer with feather layer.For this, close the visibility of all layers except Feather1 & P body1 . Then merge-visible. Name this layer as P1.Close the visibility of P1 also. Now activate Pbody 2 and Feather2 layers and merge visible and name it as P2. Like this, all layers . Just see the screen shot. | | | | |  Before merging | |  After merging
So now we have 11 layers P1-P11.
Again turn off visibility of all layers except P1, rename this as Pea1. Save it.
Next turn on visibility of P2 & P3. Now we have 3 layers visible. Pea1,P1 &P2.
Ok, layers merge-merge visible. Name this as Pea2. Save it.
Next turn on visibility of layers P4 & P5. We have 3 layers now, Pea2 , P4 & P5. Name this layer as Pea3. Save it.
Merge Pea3 with layers P6 & P7, name this layer as Pea4. Save it.
Merge Pea4 with layers P8 & P9, name this layer as Pea5. Save it.
Merge Pea5 with layer P10 & P11, name this layer as P6. Save it. Now we have Pea1-Pea6 , each file saved in PSP format. Now my layer palette is like this.
We have finished our work in PSP. Now to Animation shop to animate it.
