************************************

Before we start the tutorial,

I want to mention a tip.

If you think you have too sharp edges

when you add the papers to the template layers

do the following thing:

Magic wand on a template layer

When the "ants" are moving

Selections > Modify > Smooth

Smoothing amount and corner scale: 5

Check both Anti-alias and Preserve Corners

This will make the jagged edges of the template layer better

************************************ 

 

The papers I used I minimized by 75%

 

Open template46 in your PSP

Copy the template by SHIFT + d

Close the original template

You can resize later if you need too.

Delete the copyright info
