In order to get the right effect from Tramages - Starmaker you must follow this next step.

Copy and paste as a new layer the tube you want to have in the small circles.
Move it into position below the small circle - you must do all your resizing to it now.
Once you have it resized as you like:
Edit/Copy
Edit/Paste as New Image
Using your Selection Tool select the part of the tube that will go below the frame. See the example of mine.


Edit/Copy
Make your working canvas active.
Edit/Paste as New Raster.
Delete your other tube - you no longer need it.
You should now just have the headshot of your tube as the only tube layer on your working canvas.
Duplicate.
Move the duplicated tube into position below the other circle frame.
Highlight the small circles layer.
Select All/Float/Defloat
Selections/Invert
Highlight each of the tube layers and tap the delete key.
Change the Properties on both tube layers to Soft Light.
