What you do
now is up to you, you can either do as I did and add a
tube to the center of your image and add some
writing or you can add another layer and make
this your bottom layer (first you will have right
click on your other layer and "promote to layer" once
you have your new layer at the bottom highlight layer
2 (this is the one that has your image on it) using
your magic wand, Tolerance 25 Feather 0 click in the
center of the frame and hit the delete key once, you
can now insert any image of your choice into this
selection or just save it as a frame.... dress it up
with some corners and your all done !
I hope you
enjoyed this one
