Now... we need something for the right hand page.....

I'm going to add some text.
You can add another image
or add text of your own.


I changed my background colour to Dark Brown ( #543F2A )
and closed my foreground box

Still on Layer 1

Select your TEXT TOOL
I used the 'Balmoral ICG' font (you can use one of your choosing)
with the following settings




Type in your text
Click OK

Centre the text

DESELECT




Go to LAYERS >>> MERGE >>> MERGE VISIBLE
Go to LAYERS >>> NEW RASTER LATER

OK now we'll add some decoration.


Open up the 'corner' tube
Go to WINDOW >>> DUPLICATE
Close the original tube

Go to IMAGE >>> RESIZE = 30%
Make sure Resize All Layers is unchecked

Go to ADJUST >>> SHARPEN >>> SHARPEN

Right click on the title bar of the 'corner' image and
select COPY from the options


Right click on the title bar of the 'Book' image and
select PASTE AS NEW SELECTION from the options
Position the corner at the bottom right of the
right hand page
DESELECT



Go to LAYERS >>> DUPLICATE
Go to IMAGE >>> MIRROR


Go to your LAYER PALETTE and CLOSE the MERGED layer
Go to LAYERS >>> MERGE VISIBLE

Go to LAYERS >>> DUPLICATE
Go to IMAGE >>> FLIP
Go to LAYERS >>> MERGE VISIBLE

NOW.... if you want your corners a little more prominent
Go to LAYERS >>> DUPLICATE
Go to LAYERS >>> MERGE VISIBLE

(See below for instructions on saving the Book without a background
or extra decorations)

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
If you wish to add some overlapping decorations of your own
as in the example below



You will need to only merge the 2 merged layers in your colour palette,




Add any extra decorations..loke the small roses above.
Then add the background of your choice
to the bottom layer before saving your image.

I did as suggested above...
I made my background layer WHITE to match my
tutorial page.

Then I added a drop shadow to the MERGED LAYER

Then

Go to LAYERS >>> MERGE >>> MERGE ALL (Flatten)
and youre
DONE!!!

Save as a .jpg image


IF YOU WISH TO SAVE THE BOOK WITHOUT A BACKGROUND
