Step 2:
Adding your background
paper.
Repeat the steps above to
open your background paper. Then to select the
background paper go to your top menu, choose
Selections, and click Select All. You can also
use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + A. Once your
background paper is selected you will want to
copy and paste it on the Page Template. To copy
go to the top menu, choose Edit and select Copy
or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + C. Then
switch to the Page Template, select the
background layer of the page template and paste
the paper down. You can do this by going to your
top menu, choosing Edit and clicking Paste or
using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + L.
Step 3: Appling
papers to the template shapes.
Again repeat the steps to
open and copy the next paper you plan to use.
Once the paper is copied select the layer you
would like to apply it to in your Layer Palette.
Paste your paper down directly above this layer.
Then go to your tool bar and click on the Magic
Wand Selection Tool.Use the Magic Wand to select
the shape by clicking inside of it. Next go back
to your paper layer and right click on it. Go to
New Layer Mask and choose Show Selection. Your
paper should now take the shape of the template
layer.
Simply repeat this step for
the reset of the template papers and
photographs.
Step 4: Adding your
embellishments.
This step is super easy. Just
copy and paste any embellishments you would like
to add and arrange them as desired.
Step 5: Adding a drop
shadow.
To a drop shadow to your
layers go to the top menu and choose Effects.
Then highlight 3D Effects and click on Drop
Shadow. A pop-up window will now appear allowing
you to control how the drop shadow will look. I
like to use the following settings: Vertical –
8, Horizontal – 15, Opacity – 10, and Blur 30.
Check the Preview on Image box so that you can
see what your drop shadow will look like.
Congratulations, you did it!
