Open your tube of choice
I'm using the fabulous work of Keith Garvey
Copy and paste your tube as a new layer
Position your tube in the frame and then select the smaller paper layer
Select all - float - defloat - invert
Get your eraser tool and erase the bottom part of the tube
Just the part outside of the frame

Do the same with the same tube but enlarge the tube by 120%
Make sure to focus on different parts of the tube for the other frames
