A Decorating Project
A unique project is to take one of your photographs and divide it into sections to create a bigger photo. This is a popular decorecting effect for designers and here is an easy way for you to create the same look for your home.
I used this photo of a group of sea shells using the guides in Photoshop CS3 I divided it into 4 sections.
Opening a new page into Photoshop I cut each section out and pasted them onto the new page leaving a 1 inch space between each section.
How to do this…..
• Select the photo you want
• Using the guides divide your photo into 4 sections. Either Long ways or into squares.
• Next open a new Photoshop page set new guides for the first image at 1 in from the top of the page and 1 inch from the side of the page.
• Going back to your original photo and select the first section of the photo and copy it.
• Going to your new image paste it at the guides, set new guides at 1 inch from the edges of the first section of your image.
• Repeat the copy and paste for each section using the guides to position each section 1 inch from the other sections.
• When all sections are pasted onto the new image crop your new image where you have a 1 inch border around the edges of the section.
You can change the white background to a different color or use another background image for a different effect. Print you image and then matt and frame it.
