Five Frame Tag Tutorial
Written and Created by Debbie "Debz" Coates

 

What you need for this tutorial:
PSP (of course)
Graphic of your choice
Any filters you wish to use.

1. Open a transparent image 500 x 300.

2. Click on Preset Shapes. Make sure your foreground color is set to fill, color white and your background color is off. Use these settings:
Rectangle
Antialias checked, the others unchecked
Line width 10
Now make a rectangle in the center of your work area. Then Selections None.

3. Choose your Magic Wand and click on the white area. Use any filter you choose to use here...be creative :) I used Blade Pro. Once you get what you want...click Invert your selection.

4. Open the graphic you want to use. Hold Ctrl and hit C to make a copy. Go to your frame and hold Ctrl, Shift and hit L to paste inside your selection. Selections None.

5. Hold shift and hit D twice to make 2 copies of this. Minimize your two copies. Once you do this...go to your main image. Add a new raster layer.

6. Pull up one of your copies. Go to Layers > Propertiess > Set opacity to 80. DO NOT MERGE THE LAYERS. That will come later. Now go to Image > Resize and use these settings:
Percentage of Original 80
Resize All Layers Checked
Ok
Go to Effects > Sharpen > Sharpen. Put this image aside.

7. Pull up your other copy. Go to Layers > Properties > Set opacity to 60. DO NOT MERGE THE LAYERS. Go to Images > Resize and use these settings:
Percentage of Original 60
Resize All Layers Checked
Ok
Go to Effects > Sharpen > Sharpen. Put this image aside.

8. Pull up your first copy (the one in step 6) and make a copy of it (ctrl C) and then paste it (ctrl E) on to your original image. Move it until it is evenly centered along the frame of original. Selections None. Go to your Layer palette and right click on your smaller picture layer and duplicate it. Now go to Image > Mirror. Click the glasses on the layer palette by your original image. Then Merge, Visible your two smaller images. Click the glasses again and move this image to the front.

9. Make sure on the Layer Palette that the layer with your two smaller images is highlighted. Add a new raster Layer. Repeat Step 8 with the next copy, only do it on the second image. Then when you are done with this layer, go to layer palette and move this layer to the bottom.

10. Merge All Flatten. You should be able to kind of see the smallest image through the next smallest image..so don't panic. Resize it, go to Effects > Sharpen > Sharpen. And that is it :) You can dress it up or leave it as it is. Here is what mine looks like.

I hope this tutorial was fun and fairly easy for you.

Special Note: This is the first tutorial that I ever wrote...LOL
