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.
