Guest dewingstuff Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 new here - I use pspx and am trying to fill the black scrap template with background paper. How do I go about doing this? I think I am missing something. the directions say to select the black, use the magic wand and fill with the background, but how do I get the background in the first place? thanks!

Which you use when really depends on personal preference and the type of template you're using. If you need more help, let me know.. Lori Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dewingstuff Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 sorry, but I can't seem to locate this in pspx. help, please!! It looks easy! "In the Materials palette pick Pattern. In the Pattern window scroll to the very top and you'll see small thumbnails of all your open images, one of which will be the paper you just opened." Nothing like this comes up for me. wait!! I clicked on something and saw a tiny arrow pointing down, which opened up many swatches. very cool! hope I remember how next time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angleigh Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 In PSE it's pretty simple. Drag your background paper onto your template (don't forget to move your template to a new document first) and then hold down the ctrl key and hit "g" this will mask the template with the background paper of your choice. Now if you want to add more then just 1 paper to it, it's pretty simple. Merge the layers you have now and repeat the above ctrl-g step, only this time using your second (or third) paper. This [url="http://scrapgirls.com.ipbhost.com/index.php?act=module&module=gallery&cmd=si&img=7480"]Zoo[/url] layout is a good example. I placed the brown paper first, merged the layers. Then cut out a strip of green paper and placed that on the template. Then I went 1 step further and placed the stitching using the same steps. That will make it look like the photos are laying on top of all your papers/embellishments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
