Framed Photo Highlight
By: Donna Chapman
This is one of those effects that could come in very handy if you
are into scrap booking. In the image below, it was the brother
and sister that caught my eye first. I was limited to how close
I could get; and although I could have just cropped tighter I
wanted to try something new and different.
Step 1. Open the photo you
want to work with.
Step 2. Using the Marquee
Tool (Arrow A), select an
area that you want to draw
attention to (Arrow B).
Go to the "Foreground/
Background Color Tool"
(Arrow C) and select any
color other than white for
the foreground.
Step 3. Create a new layer
by clicking on the new layer
icon (Arrow A) it looks
like a piece of paper with
one corner bent up.
Using the paint bucket tool
(Arrow B) fill in the newly
selected area (Arrow C).
Step 4. With the new layer
selected, click the "Add a
Layer Style" icon (Arrow
A) (a small circle icon with
a "f " inside).
Go the bottom of this list
and click on the word
"stroke".
Step 5. The above step
will open the "Layer Style"
dialog box.
Within this box change
the color in the "color
box" to white (Arrow A).
Use the "Size" slider bar
(Arrow B) to create a
frame around the selected
area (Arrow C).
Suggested size is between
15 to 20 pixels depending
on the size of your
original image.
Step 6. Click once on the
area filled in with color.
(Arrow A)
In the "Layers" dialog
box, click on the section
beside the word "Fill"
(Arrow B).
This will bring up a small
slider bar so that you can
adjust the fill setting all the
way down to zero.
Step 7. Click on the "New
Adjustment Layer" icon
(Arrow A) on the drop
down menu that comes up,
select "Hue/Saturation".
Within the "Hue/Saturation"
dialog box, use the
"Saturation" slider bar to
set the saturation down
to -100. (Arrow B)
This will take all the color
out of your selected area
only. (Arrow C).
Step 8. On the layer that
is labeled "Hue/Saturation"
click on the icon on the
right hand side. (Arrow A).
On the keyboard hold
the "ctrl" + the "I" key
at the same time. This
will "inverse" the colors,
so that only what is in
your selected area will
have color (Arrow B).
Step 9. Select the layer
you originally filled with
color (Arrow A).
Notice that the box
beside the small icon
on the "Hue/Saturation
is now open (Arrow B).
Click once and a small
chain icon will show up,
indicating it is now linked
to the layer below.
You can now push, pull,
or rotate the selected
area (Arrow C) to your
own personal tastes.
Step 10. Remember to
go to "Layers" and down
to "Flatten Image", before
you save.
When you do save, use
the "Save As" feature so
you can rename your
new creation under it's
own name.
