Mask of Choice

- Instructions -

1) Open supplies and minimize. Open a new 500 x 500 image.

2) Paste your paper as a new layer. Resize if desired.

3) Paste your frame as a new layer. Resize as desired.

Take your magic wand and select the area inside the frame.

Expand your selection by 4.

Go to your paper layer. Invert selection and hit delete.

(You may also omit your paper layer all together for a unique look - This looks especially well when saved as a PNG)

4) If you chose to omit your paper layer please skip this step.

Paste your close-up as a new layer. Mirror Image and place as desired. Duplicate layer.

Set Duplicate layer blend mode to Multiply - Opacity 60.

Return to Original Close up. Set blend mode to Luminance. Add Shadow.

Go to your paper layer. Select all/float/defloat. Go to your Shadowed Close Up and invert selection. Hit delete.

Without altering selected layer, go to your Duplicate Close Up layer and hit delete.

Merge the Luminance Close Up To Paper. THEN merge the Mutiply Close Up layer to the paper layer.

5) Go to Frame Layer. Place tube as new layer. Place and resize as desired.

Duplicate layer and set duplicate to blend mode Multiply - Opacity = 60.

Merge "DOWN". Duplicate this layer and drag the duplicate to rest directly below the frame.

Go to your top Tube layer and give desired shadow.

6) Give your frame layer and add drop shadow.

Return to top tube layer and erase all "overhang" so that the tube appears to "come out of" the frame.

7) Go to your empty bottom layer. Paste your flowers as new layers. Resize and place as desired or use my tag as a guide.

Add desired shadows and merge down on top of each other.

Repeat this process for your top layer (tube).

8) Select two colors from your tube. Set one of your color selections to Gradient (Foreground/Background). Radial - Repeat = 7.

Go to your bottom empty layer. Floodfill with your gradient.

Use your alpha to apply desired text.

Merge Visible & Save as PNG.

Enjoy!

1) Open up your supplies and minimize them. Open up a new 500x 350 image.

2) Go to your polaroid template. Go to the frame layer. Copy and then go to your blank image and paste as a new layer. Name this layer Frame A.

Resize as desired (I smart sized that layer only by 40%). Duplicate the frame A layer.

Name the duplicate, Frame B Drag the Frame B layer so that is beneath your frame A layer. Now rotate and place as desired.

When you are ready. Duplicate the Frame B and Mirror. Name this layer Frame C.

3) Go to the layer below Frame A and add a new raster layer. Now go to your Frame A and with your magic wand click inside the polaroid picture box.

Expand your selection by 3. Go to the empty layer below and flood fill this selection with a color from your tube.

This will be the background for your polaroid.

4) Repeat this process for Frames B & C or you can simply duplicate your polaroid background twice and position them for Frames B & C.

5) Now go to the background layer for Frame A. Paste tube and place as desired. Give it a drop shadow. Return to the background layer.

Use your magic wand to select it. Now go to your tube layer and invert selection. Hit delete.

Do this same process for Frames B & C

6) You should now have three picture frames with backgrounds and tubes framed in each of them.

Give each of your polaroid frames the drop shadow of choice.

7) Go to your very BOTTOM layer (It should be empty - or floodfilled white if you chose to do that)

Paste your flourish as a new layer.

Resize and place as desired. Add desired drop shadow.

8) Paste your fan as a new layer. Place, Rotate and resize as desired. Add desired drop shadow.

9) Now paste your flower as a new layer. Resize and place as desired (I placed mine ever so slightly above the polaroid on the left side.

As you can see from the tag I placed mine so that it is sticking out from behind Frame A.

Give both of these flower layers the drop shadow of choice.

10)Add your credits and desired text. Merge visible and save as a PNG.

Enjoy!
