How to
Use a Template
Program Used:
PSP 8
Open a
template sheet. Generally
designers sell their templates
with several to a sheet. And at
times it is hard to ‘cut’ out
the one you want to use. This
tutorial will show you how I
manage using templates, or
multi-image sheets.
1. Select
you magic wand,  and click
on the template you want to
extract or use. You should see
marching ants surround that
entire section of the template.
(If the template consists of
more then one part, hold the
shift key, using the magic wand,
click on all the parts to select
each piece.)
2. Now
click copy, CTRL+C. This now
puts that section of the
template to your clip board,
ready to be pasted to your
paper.
3. Open
your paper you want to use the
template with.
4. Right
click on the paper, and paste as
new layer. (CTRL+L)
5. This
will center your template dead
center of your new paper. Now it
is up to you, you can move this
template down or up, depending
on what part of the paper you
want to use. Make sure whatever
you want to use is UNDER the
template.
6. Now, on
your template layer, select the
template again using the magic
wand. (Remember if your template
is more then one piece, use the
shift key to select them all.)
7. Go back
down to layer 1, or ‘background
layer’. Click on copy, CTRL+C,
then click on edit/paste as new
image, or go to your paper you
want to put the template on, and
right click and paste as new
layer. (CTRL+L) .
8. Bevel or
shadow as desired. Embellish
with other accents, or what not,
you now have your template cut
out.
That’s it.
Pretty easy isn’t it? You can do
this with pretty much any
template.
Happy
Scrapping!
