Clipping A Photo
Posted by on Thursday, December 24, 2009


And if placed below the frame stand, definitely it is like this:

3. Since we are working to look the picture as if it is inserted in the frame. The Photo layer must be at the topmost. Then select it and lower its opacity for a while. I lower it to 34%. It will look like this.

4. With the frame stand layer active, select the Rectangular Marquee tool and select this part.


The selected area becomes a layer and named it as “overlap1”. Bring this layer all the way to the top. Now, going back to the photo, select it and return its opacity to 100%. So pretty realistic, isn’t it?

5. Now for the upper part of the frame,
do the same procedure. Make the frame stand active, select the area of
the frame to be overlapped and right-click, select Layer via Copy.
Named this as “overlap2” and bring this layer also the topmost.
