For this tutorial I'm using the same image and techniques as used in the frame tutorial. Once you complete this tutorial you'll realize you don't need a filter or plug-in to make a shadow. First you will need to open the image you wish to use in your image editor. For the first part of this tutorial we are using Photoshop. Resize the image if it's too large so that it's smaller than the size you want it to be when finished. My image started out at 1600x1600, I reduced it down to 250x250 because I want the finished image size to be 300x300 pixels. As you will notice, it's not the prettiest of fractals so I thought it would need a little sprucing up.  After choosing a color from the image by using the eyedropper tool I enlarged the canvas by 50 pixels high and 50 pixels wide making the image size 300x300 pixels.  |
