So you have colorized your template.  Now we have to add in the images.  First click on the layer palette to photo 1.  Now to do this you need to use your magic wand.  If you  have never used this you will find it on your tool bar.  It looks like stick with white tips



Click on the magic wand icon and then on the tool palette put your setting to RGB Value and a tolerance of 20.  Click on the white area of the photo so that you have the marching ants all around.


Go up to selections, modify and expand by 1.  Now click on the image you want to add into the template and copy it.  You can do this by going to edit and then copy.  Click back on to your template and go to edit, paste, paste into selection.




 Now your image is pasted into your photo.  Keep selected.  Go under Selections and click on float.  Now go under Effects, 3d Effects, Cutout



On the box you will get put the settings at:  Vertical and Horizontal 3.  Opacity at 80 and Blur at 15.  Set the color for black and uncheck Fill interior with color.




Now you can deselect the selection.  You want to repeat this process with the other two photo areas.  Now instead of doing the full image though I would recommend selecting to copy just part of it.  You can do this by using your selection tool.  On the tool palette I'd recommend a rectangle shape.





Once you have your selection paste it in like you did above and follow the same process.
Here is how mine turned out:

 
 
 
 
You can now add any words you'd like to it or other decorations.  Then save :)   Remember to have fun and be willing to play around with it.   Back to Page 1
