For this tutorial, as for all of them, we are going to
make a lot of similar frames/borders, with the same
color/fill/pattern - using the same steps over again, so
next time I'm only referring to 1 Color (=Foreground
color) or 2 Silver (=GoldFillPattern_silvergrey). Just
repeat the steps I'm explaining for the first
frame/border. (Always expand sides equally, and with the
pixels mentioned in front of the color.)
To make it more easy to select a border, right
click/All, right click/Border and set the Pixels of the
border for the Border width, Direction: Inward, Shape:
Box. You can always use the Magic Wand Tool, but this
way it's more easy if you use similar colors for the
background and the border. (On the assumption that all
sides have been expanded equally!)

the picture, choose a Foreground color - 59/98/63 (white
hand). Go to Adjust/Expand Canvas/Expand sides equally 1
pixel, Expand: White. Select the border, go to
Edit/Fill/Image (red arrow)/File and find the file -
GoldFillPattern_silvergrey (white arrow). Check the box
Tile the image (1) and click OK.
Keep the border selected, right click/Convert to Object,
right click/Shadow and use the 5.one with these

Expand: 23 Color, select the border and go to Effect/Two
Moon (red arrow)/RotoBlades (white arrow) and use these

Your screenshot might look different, since I'm using
Filters Unlimited 2 - but the settings are the same
anyway.
Click Apply and keep the border selected.
Go to Effect/Almathera/A Halo and apply these settings:
Black + 20/38.
Deselect.

Fills and Textures/Texture Filter/Animal Hide (white
hand) and apply the default settings (1):

Expand: 32 Color, select the border, right click/Convert
to Object, and right click/Duplicate.
Open a New Image, Canvas: White with the size - Width:
766 and Height: 651.
(That's 100 pixels extra on the Width and the Height
from the Active image.) |

Open
the lace tile you've downloaded (1), copy (Ctrl+C) the
tile, activate the white New Image (2) and go to
Edit/Fill/Image (red arrow)/Clipboard (white arrow).
Check the box Tile the image (3).
Click OK and close the original lace tile. |
|
 |
Copy
(Ctrl+C) the big lace image (1), activate the main
picture (2) and go to Edit/Paste/Into Selection and
place the texture as you wish.
(By that way you can find the right place for the
pattern, and place it exactly where you want.) Now you
can close the big lace image.
On your main picture - right click/ Properties/Merge:
Multiply.
Open the Layer Manager, hold down Ctrl and pick our last
two (32 pixels) borders. Right Click/Merge as Single
Object. Click Yes on the pop-up window, close the layer
Manager but keep the border selected. |
