| This tutorial is
NOT to be scripted or made into a "Quick Guide" unless it is
for your own personal use.

|
|
To do this tutorial you will need a working knowledge of PSP.
If you are new to PSP, or have a problem doing this tutorial,
you can find me at Raven's
PSP forum, be happy to help you out.
 You
also need to download my Bars
gradient.
|
|
|
|
|
Choose an image you would like to
frame.
Duplicate it, Shift>D. Work with the copy.
|
|
|
|
|
On your Color Palette set your
background color to match your image.
Here I chose a dark brown.
Go to Image>Add Borders. Here I used 25. |
| |
 |
Add a New Layer.
Fill it with the Bars Gradient.
Rectangular Gradient set to 1.
|
| |
|
On your Layer Palette, change the Blend Mode to Multiply.
|
|
|
|
|
To clear the center go to
Selections>Select All.
Then Selections>Modify>Contract.
Start with Contract 25, or whatever number you used for your
border, and keep contracting until you have the area you want to
delete selected.
Go to Edit>Clear.
That's it, quick and easy frame, and one you can do a
lot of experimenting with to get different looks. |
|
|
Experiment, and have fun!
