Tutorial On How To Make A "Flowing" Tag

1. Open up a "New Image" .... size 250 width x 350 height. This is large but it seems to be easier to work with. You can resize it later when done. :o)

2. Using the "Flood Fill" tool , fill the image with a color. The color will be the color you select in the top box of the "Color Selection" boxes on the right of your screen.

3. Click on "Veiw"......then on "Grids"

4. Now, select the "Selection" tool .........then click on the "Toggle Control Palette" .

5. This box will appear:

Select "Ellipse" as the "Selection Type"

6. Place your cursor at the bottom-middle of your new image. While holding down on your left mouse button, move it upward and outward until you get a "arch" shape.

7. Now click on "Edit" ....then "Copy". Then click on "Edit" once again.....then "Paste" .....then "As New Image".

8. Once again, using the "Selection" tool, run it upward-outward from the bottom-middle, leaving a gap. Then Click on "Edit" ....then "Cut".

9. Click on "Veiw" ....then "Grids" to remove them.

10. Now, click on the "Magic Wand" tool . Place your cursor over a transparent area of the image, hold down on your "Shift" key and then click on that area. Repeat this over every transparent area until all of then are selected. Next, click on "Selections"....then "Invert"

11. This is where you can apply filters. I used "Eye Candy....Weave" and "Unlead Web Plugins .... Button Designer - Any Shape" on this one.

12. Next, open up a picture you want to add. Make for sure you can resize it to a size where it will fit inside the frame.

13. Using the "Selection" tool [once agian with the "Ellispe" selected, follow the same steps as No. 6. Make sure the size will fit nicely inside the frame.

14. Open up a "New Image" ....size 275 width x 425 height

15. "Copy" and "Paste" the picture onto this image. Then, "Copy" and "Paste" the frame over it.

16. Now it is time to play!! LOL Click on the "Clone Brush" tool . Place your cursor over a area of the picture you want to clone (copy) and "right" click your mouse button.

17. Place your cursor where you want to add that part of the picture, hold down on your "left" mouse button and color away!!! You may have to repeat this several times to get the effect you want.

Here is the finished product. :o) Have fun!!!!
