|
To create a mini metal frame: |
|
 |
Select the Rectangle
Shape tool. |
|
Click and drag an outline around your
photo that's slightly bigger than your photo. |
|
When you let go of the mouse, your shape
will fill with the Foreground color. |
|
In the Options Bar, click on the Ellipse
tool and click on the "Subtract from Shape" icon. |
|
Click and drag an oval outline in the
center of the rectangle. Press the space bar before you let go of
the mouse if you need to reposition the outline. Release the space
bar to continue to resize the oval. |
|
When you let go of the mouse, the oval
will be cut out of the rectangle. |
|
Click on the middle icon at the top
of the Artworks and Effect palette. |
|
Choose Layer Styles from the menu on
the left and Wow Chrome from the menu on the right. |
|
Double click on the metal icon of your
choice. |
| Hint: You
can use these on digital pages, or you can print them on photo paper,
cut them out, and put them on a traditional page. Pop them up slightly
to give them more dimension. |
