Becster Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I can usually do this, but this particular thing has me stumped. I have some black and white clip art images of Chrismon ornaments. I need the outlines (black) to be glittered, I have all sorts of glitter styles, but for the life of me I cant remember how I did it before. Here's what I tried... 1. I added a new layer, filled with glitter effect and tried to clip it. Nope. 2. I selected the black only, then tried to add the glitter. Nope! I have my trusty old PSE 9 in WIN 10 if that helps at all. I need these images for a Power Point presentation to go with my kids' program. They haven't decorated theirs yet or I'd just take photos. One image attached. I was able to add to the outline only of the 5 point star, but not this one. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindarobin Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Hi, Becky, Put the black outline on its own layer, then apply the glitter style to this layer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becster Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 Thank you so much! Select the black, then promote to a layer, right? Will try after dinner. Yay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindarobin Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I don't have a glitter style per se, but here's a shiny metallic style: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becster Posted November 30, 2016 Author Share Posted November 30, 2016 Thanks! I tried selecting the black, but it doesn't allow me to make it a new layer, Will keep trying. EDIT: Did it! I was able to copy the selection then paste it onto a blank layer. Thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnBK Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Try Selecting the black borders, then cut and paste. That should allow you to glitter just that area. I used that same technique on a recipe card that I just posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Becster Posted November 30, 2016 Author Share Posted November 30, 2016 Gasp! I was very worried when I saw the title! Glad you got it figured out! It's something I haven't used in a very long time. I use glitter styles in my LO's a lot, but just couldn't recall how to do it so simply! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I just CTRL J and get two objects. Give the bottom one a border and then apply a glitter style to the bottom one. It will show. For me that's the fastest way. I used PSE 11 and 13 that way. Have not done it with 15 yet but it will work the same way. Remember to link or merge the layers.
