To turn a photo in a 12 x 12 background page: |
|
 |
Open a suitable photo
(File > Open). |
|
Select the Crop tool and type the width
and height dimensions in the Options bar. |
|
Type in your desired resolution. (Use
anywhere from 200 to 300 ppi resolution.) |
|
Click and drag an outline over the part
of the photo you want to include on your page. |
|
When you let go of the mouse the area
outside the outline will turn a darker color. |
|
You can continue to resize the outline
by dragging from any handle. |
|
When you're satisfied, click on the
check mark to accept the outline. |
| |
| To give your page
a monochrome color: |
|
Choose Enhance > Adjust Color > Adjust Hue/Saturation. |
|
When the dialog box comes up, click on the "Colorize"
box and your photo will turn into shades of one color. |
|
Move the Hue slider until you find the color you want. |
|
Move the Saturation slider to the left to desaturate the color,
or to the right to make the color brighter. |
|
Move the Lightness slider to the right to lighten your page, if
you wish. |
