blank gif Go up to your task bar and click on window. See where it says duplicate, click on that. Repeat. Close out the original, (or save it to your hard drive if you like). Now you should have two images that say image 1&2.

blank gif
Example image


blank gif We want a square image so we are going to have to resize these two images, to 300x300. To do this we go to Image then down to resize. Make sure that Pixel is dotted. Type in 300 in both the height and width windows. Go down to maintain aspect ratio and make sure it is checked. Click ok.

Example image


blank gif Set the forground and background colors set on white. If you are not going to use my SuperBladePro preset or another Preset, then the forground color can be of your choice. That you can flood fill the selections in later.

Example image


blank gif Make sure you are on Image 1. Minimize Image 2 we will get back to it later. The window at the top of Image 1 should be blue in color and Image two should be greyed out. The colors help you to know what image you are working on.

blank gif Next we go up to Selections/Invert. Then back up to Selections/Modify/contract. In the box that pops up put in 2 and click ok.
blank gif Now on that same image go up to Edit/copy. Then back up to Edit/Paste/ Paste as a new Image. You can now close out Image one.

blank gif We are now going to resize what should be Image three now. So go up to Image/Resize. We are going to Check the maintian aspect ratial box, and go back up to where it says Percentage of original. We want to put in 75% the other window will automatically set at 75% too. Click ok.

blank gif Go back up and do Edit/Copy. Minimize the image by clicking on the - sign in the upper Right hand corner of the graphic. ( You probably will not need this image agian, but in case something happens it is still there.)

blank gif Click on image 2. Then go up to Edit/Paste/As a new layer. It will center it for you.

blank gif Now when you look on your layer pallet you will see two layers. Background and Layer 1. Make sure you are on layer 1. Again you can tell because it is blue or highlighted.

example image


blank gif Using your magic wand, again with the same setting as before. Click any place on you image, but not the Circle. The Marching ants should now be around the circle and edges of the image.
