11. If you would like
to use corners, browse to your corners, open the one you like,
copy, activate your graphic, paste as new layer, position to
your liking in top left corner, resize and sharpen if you like,
once it is to your satisfaction, go to layer palette, duplicate,
Image>Mirror, layer>duplicate, Image>Flip, layer>duplicate,
Image>Mirror. This will position your corners exactly right in
each corner. You can of course use your tube tool, but I prefer
to open them and use them in this way. The corners I chose were too bright for the frame, so after I placed the first one, I sharpened it, then I went to Adjust>Brightness and Contrast>Brightness/Contrast, and I turned the brightness down to -24, I left the contrast at 0. |
