How to Create Templates in Photoshop CS3Here’s a little tutorial on how to create card or collage templates using clipping masks in Photoshop CS3. Clipping masks are wonderful tools. Basically what they do is make a layer take on the shape of the one below it. So if you create a shape on one layer and then place an image on the layer above it and put a clipping mask on the image layer, the image will suddenly only show within the constraints of the shape! Then you can use the Transform tool (CTRL-T or Edit>Transform>Scale) to resize the image, effectively cropping it to fit the way you want it within that shape you created. It’s very cool ————————————————————————————– So here’s how you do it:
To keep the outside edges crisp, choose the stroke to be done inside. For rounded edges, choose outside. For the middle of the road with slightly rounded edges inside and out, choose center.
If you make a mistake and accidentally put the clipping mask on the wrong layer, highlight that layer then go to Layers>Release Clipping Mask
Now, if you want to make your templates just that much better, here are some tips that might be worth trying out.
I could go on, but this is enough to digest for now. So now go forth, have fun creating and sharing these wonderful templates echo $variable;The post How to Create Templates in Photoshop CS3 appeared first on Photoshop Online. via Blogger How to Create Templates in Photoshop CS3
