How do I use Ali Edwards' Hand-Drawn Overlay Grids? |
||||||
If not, there is a list of free unzip programs here. We can't recommend any of these specifically, but it will give you a starting place. Once the file is unzipped, open the .png overlay in Photoshop or PSE by selecting File | Open, then browsing your computer for the file. Make sure you are selecting the .png file (not the preview.) This brings the overlay into your editing window. Open a new document or a piece of background paper the same way (File | Open.) Make sure that you select 300ppi and RGB in the Open dialog box to make the document print-quality. If you are using PSE6 or PSE7 you'll need to click on the overlay at this point to make it active (which makes it the large preview in the editing window.) Now click and drag the overlay onto the background paper in the photo bin (or onto your background layer if you are in Photoshop.) You can add photos under the overlay by opening, clicking and dragging them onto your background/overlay document. Simply drag the photos under the overlay layer in the layers palette to put them into position. Get the Move Tool to reposition the photo under the frame openings. Use the corner handle to resize your photos and the side handles to tilt them if necessary. These are found by hovering the cursor over the photo. Use the Eraser tool to erase away any part of the photo outside of the frame. |
