QuickMats 4™ by John Hartman
Add Your Photo to a QuickMat
Click on the thumbnail below to download an empty QuickMat file. You can
add your own photographic image to this QuickMat to see how you can enhance
your work and make it more valuable (and therefore more expensive) to your
client.
Directions:
- Open the empty QuickMat file and a photo of your choice. Go to
Image > Image Size and resize your photo to no smaller
than 4.25" high by no smaller than 6" wide @ 300 ppi.
- Click the Move
tool (or hit the V key). Holding the Shift key down, click on your
photo and drag and drop it over the mat.
- In the Layers palette, drag
your photo layer (called Layer 1) to the layer below the Mat layer.
The photo now goes 'behind' the mat.
- With the Move tool still selected,
you can reposition the image to fine-tune the placement in the mat
(or you can 'nudge' it by hitting one of the arrow keys).
- Once the
image is positioned where you want it, go to Layer > Flatten
Image.
Then go to File > Save As and rename your new file in JPEG
format (#10 quality) and printed on your inkjet or uploaded to your
photo lab. (Mat is 8x10 size.)

NOTE:This file has already been colored and
textured for you to use as a sample. With QuickMats 4 you have complete
flexibility to color and texture both the Outside Mat and Inside Liner
exactly as you wish. |
