Inserting Pics with the Magic Wand–tutorial

Posted on November 13, 2008

I am reposting this tutorial for you all…….this is the main question I receive—so thought this would be helpful! I had this on my old blog—but wanted it to be here as well…..

A little tutorial for you………..
Most of my frames esp the fun vintagey/grungy ones….are set up to use the Magic Wand tool–(one of my faves)—to insert the images……
So, here’s one of the pages from the New Cherished Collection Album and screenshots as to how to get the image in the frame or behind it as some say…..

(Click on the pics to make them bigger)

1. Make sure the photo frame layer is highlighted in your layers palette.

2. Select the magic wand tool.

3. Make sure your tolerance is set to 20 or less. 20 is great for this frame.

4. With the Magic Wand tool–click the center blk part of the frame. This will select only the black part. IF it selects more–your tolerance is too high—(you’d need to lower the #)

5. Open your pic. Choose SELECT—ALL

6. Choose EDIT–COPY

7. Go back to the template. Choose EDIT–PASTE INTO SELECTION

8. Voila!!! Your image is IN THE FRAME!!! Now you may have to resize.

9. To resize: Click CTRL+T for the Free Transform Tool. While HOLDING DOWN THE SHIFT KEY AND ONLY PULLING FROM THE CORNER, resize. This will prevent distortion.

10. When it’s how you want it……flatten and save or keep working on the template!

****After Step 5–you can resize your image–by going to IMAGE–RESIZE

I usually resize it a tad bigger than the frame, b/c for quality, I’d rather make the image a tad smaller than larger if needed.

Hope that helps!!!!!!!!!

Heavensent Collection–lch design (inspire me!)

Posted on November 11, 2008

Just posted a new submission in the Inspiration Gallery! Take a peek!!! I love how Susan used the Heavensent Collection to create this beautiful 10×10 Baby Album!

Heavensent Collection–lch design (Examples by Susan Richins Photography)
click on the images to see the full pages.
Here’s what Susan said:

Hi Leah—Here are a few samples of what I did with your beautiful Heavensent template. I used the layout exactly as the birth announcement, then I used those pages plus parts and pieces to create a 10×10 WHCC book. The last one is a photo cover.

I truly love your vision! Keep up the good work!
Susan

family and friendship– {lansing, MI photographer}

Posted on November 6, 2008

since living in lansing for the past year–there have been many blessings….and my friendship with Sabreena has been one of them!  So incredibly thankful for her friendship!  I love that we share so many things in common and her friendship is truly an answer to prayer!  We have such a blast hanging out and shooting our kids—but we decided to exchange family sessions recently and here are a few from that….the sun was glorious and the fall colors are incredible!
