Designing a border
« on: June 27, 2008, 05:16:51 pm »

I'm trying to design a polaroid type border and have scanned one and worked on it in photoshop and it looks pretty good. But to print in ImagePrint I've made it into a PSD file but need to make it as a transparency layer.

Being basically illiterate, I can't seem to figure out how to do that. The way it is now the border is on a white background and is the background layer, then I added a layer above it but can't figure out how to have it as a transparency layer.

I've brought up one of ImagePrint's own borders and it is a single transparency layer file.

Thanks in advance.

If you have it as it's own file then you need to open it in PS and change the background layer into a regular layer.  You can do this by double-clicking on the name in the layers panel then rename it in the dialog box that will pop up. Once you have it as a regular layer select all the white areas and delete them. That will leave you will the black border and transparent areas.
