Taped Picture Template

Today I give you this freebie so you can put any kind of picture above the shape, then mask it (Ctrl + G).
So, what you do is open the template and then open the picture you want to put on it. On the layers area you'll see one layer that says 'put picture under here' and that's all you have to do. Then
If you want to change the color of the tape, then click on the tape layer, go to the color picker and choose a color, then do Ctrl + U and play with the levels until you like what you get.

This is a .psd file, 300 dpi, with some shadows. The picture I put there is not part of the package. Sorry.
Have fun with it!

Single Stack

My offer today is a single frame stack.
As with the one before, all you have to do is position the picture on top (above) the frame and then play with the Move tool settings until the borders match. Duplicate your picture and position it under the first frame, above the second in the layers window and play again with the settings. Same with the 3rd frame.
This is a .psd file for a 4x6 frame, 300 dpi, shadows included, but you can change that.

Hope you enjoy it!

Picture Stack

I made this picture stack for you to use anyway you want.
If you want to make one of your own, here it goes:
Open a new document. I went with US paper. Then click on U to open the rectangle tool, and set the dimensions as 3.25 width, 2.25 height. Click anywhere in the document and a shape will show up. If your default foreground/background colors are white/black, the rectangle should be white. In the layers area, click on this shape and simplify it.
Go back to the rectangle tool. Click x to invert the white/black colors in the colors window. Set the size to 3 width and 2 height. Click on the white rectangle and a black one will show up. Center it. In the layers palette control click on the two layers and then Control E and they'll be merged. Make as many copies as you want of this one, changing its shape a bit as you want and position them on your document the way you want it.
Save the PSD file so you can use it again.

DOWNLOAD

This is a PSD file. To use it, you open the pictures you want to put on the stack. Since each one is in its own layer, just position each picture above each shape. Then start playing with the controls of the move tool, until your picture covers the black area. You can merge each picture onto the picture shape, your choice. Just remember to save it with a different name.
Enjoy!
