7of7design_tutorial_dawn

I have create this tutorial for my Scrapbookflair friends and for Dawn challenge "Neat nameframes"

I normally use Paint Shop Pro but for this tutorial I use Paint Net which is a free program

There are more than one way to achieve the same result this is how I did it

Since my program is in french I use small arrow to show you the way

Sometimes you can also access the tool by typing a letter

 

*********

 

01: Import your picture in Paint Net and rename it photo1 (double clic left on the layer)

 

 

 

02: Duplicate the photo1

03: Rename it:  photo2 (double clic left on the layer)

 

 

04: Select the tool for Text

05: Add a layer rename it:  NAME

06: Start as near as you can along the border you have chosen (using the rule to guide you)

07: Write the name you want to use in capital letter
       (ajust with the number to get the maximun length)

 

 

 

08: Select the tool that will allow you to move your name in  place
      (press the letter M on your computer)

09: Ajust the name at it place by using  the small square at each side
      (you will know that you got it when a little hand appears)

 

 

10: You can see where I move the small "square" to place my name where I wanted

 

 

11: Using the tool "magic wand" and pressing the key "maj" at the same time
      (just below the caps lock Key)

12: Select the inside of each the letter (they will change colors)

 

 

13: Invert (reverse)  the selection using "Contr I"
      (the letter are back to black are the rest is blue)

 

 

14: Select the layer "photo 2"

15: Make the layer "photo1" invisible

 

 

16: Cut using Ctrl+X (make sure you are on the layer "photo2")

 

 

17: Make the layer "NAME" invisible (you can see the name in the photo)

 

 

18: Press "S" on your computer to select the tool that will allow you to make a rectangle

 

 

19: Open the layer "photo1" and make it active ( it will be blue)

 

 

20: Cut by using Ctrl+X

 

21: All you have to do now is "ctlr+maj+F" for fusion

 

 

And "VOILÀ" now you can do your scrapbook page

Hope this has being helpful
