Fotoecken:
The surface of 101-365 is pretty slick, so I use plastic, triangular shaped corners to keep the pictures from sliding down the page. If you'd like to use corners for your own pictures, here's how:*
- Create a picture to be framed and size it for your page.
- Add an optional white frame and shadow as discussed before.
- Enlarge the Canvas Size by about 40 pixels in both the horizontal and vertical directions, or to a minimum of 410 by 410 pixels for enough working room.
- If you haven't already, download the images of the plastic corners.
- Open the file 'fotoecken.psd' with Photoshop.
- Select All, then Copy the fotoecken image.
- Paste the fotoecken image into a new layer of your picture.
- Using the Marquee Tool, select a corner.
- Move the selected corner with the Move Tool to the coresponding corner of your picture. Position the corner image snuggly onto the corner of your picture. The transparency of the corners is built in to the fotoecken.psd file.
- Repeat steps 8 and 9 for the remaining corners.
- In the layer with the fotoecken, Select All, then nudge the layer up then down to tighten the selection around the limits of the corners.
- Crop the picture to the selection - it should perfectly contain the fotoecken.
- Save for Web and you're done!
*I use Photoshop 7 for OS X, this may also work on other software.
