Hi I was wondering how can you make layouts like this one on paint shop pro.

I like how they have the "picture" frame thingy. Is that a brush? or an image? Is it possible to make it on psp7?
I know how to get the background by using the shape tools. but how do they get the image inside the background? The image fits perfectly. I tried but it never works out. How's an easy way to do it?

Also on this layout:

I like how they have the squares on the sides that have an image too. did they do that by using the shape tool and then adding the pic on there? the problem is that I dont know how to add the image.

I also have photoshop7, but I prefer using paint shop. If there is no way to do it on psp, I would also appreciate it if you could let me know how to do it on ps. Thanks for your time =D I appreciate it lots!

It seems to me that all you'd have to do is create the frame you want as one layer(leaving the middle transparent), put whatever you want in it in a layer underneath, and erase whatever is left around the outside of the frame. Thats what I did and it turned out like this:

All I did was add a little "inner bevel" to the frame, rotate it a bit, and voila! I'm sure there's a less sloppy way to do it but that worked just fine for me. :)

ohh, thanks =D That helps lots.
Now all I need to figuere out how to do the rest. =D

Your welcome. :D I'm glad you understood my garblygoop. Can you tell I've never written a tutorial in my life? :geek:

hehe =D Neither have I. I'm not good at explaining things thats why I'll never be a teacher ^.~ Anyways thanks a lot. now I know how to do the little picture things. I found a site that had that brush so now I have the image and add the brush on the top. It turns out pretty good. So now I know how to do it =D Thanks a bunch!
