Corners are a nice way to embellish a frame or other projects that you make.
They can make a frame look so elegant, they can also make a webpage standout from the rest.
I have used corners on my webpage here as I love to play.
**Smiles**

I use Paint Shop Pro, so these guidelines for adding corners is written using that program.

Believe me, they are only guidelines - the way I do it.
I have been asked on a number of occasions how I add the corners,
so finally decided to put up a page.

The only supplies you will require for this is a framed image and a corner.
I have included a corner up for you to use but feel free to use your own.

Corner - Here

The above image was made from my tutorial entitled Alone

Fire up PSP and lets go!!

1. Open your frame and your corner in PSP

2. If the corner needs to be prepared then go ahead - use a gold fill, silver fill, super blade pro,
blade pro or whatever look you are going for.
The one I have supplied for you is already prepared

There are several sites that have corners already prepared with the different golds, silvers
and colors - I always make mine to go with whatever project it is that I am working on at the time.

**I know, I know - get on with it!!! LOL

3. Make the corner the active image - Edit - Copy

4. Move to the framed image - Edit - Paste - Paste As A New Layer

When doing this type of work, I always use layers - it leaves you in control and you can delete
layers, move them around, send them up, send them down etc. etc.

5. Using the mover tool - place the corner using my framed image as a guideline or where it is
pleasing to the eye on your image.

6. Effects - 3d Effects - Drop Shadow - play around with the settings to get one that works with
your frame and corner
The drop shadow isn't always necessary on every frame.
You have to be the judge of that.

7. Layers - Duplicate
Image - Mirror
You now have a perfectly lined up set of corners.
If you are happy with them - click on the eye on the background or frame layer to hide it.
Merge - Merge Visible

8. Layers - Duplicate
Image - Flip
Click on the eye again to unhide the background or frame layer

Admire the beauty of your work for a little bit

9. Layers - Merge - Merge All(Flatten)
You will have one layer - a background layer

I hope this has been understandable to you and that you enjoyed it.
