HI

Can you explain this process with more details. I have no idea still
of what needs to be done. thanks you




do you know how to crop an image?

do you know how to set an image size?
do you know how to change canvas size?

do you have photoshop, or paintshop or any image editor?


Ok I took this headshot with a digital camera. Now i would like to
know, how i can put the border around it where i can put the name and
the contact info... so it look like a professional headshot.
I have photoshop 8. any ideas please.


crop your headshot to 7.5 x 8.45. Open a blank file and make it an

8x10 at
whatever resolution you want, I usually use 300 dpi cause thats all most
printers really recognize even if it says 1440x2880.

re-res your headshot file to match your blank page so it should now say

7.5
x 8.45 at 300 pdi, now drag it to the new blank file and position it.

add
your type at the bottom. flatten.

before you flatten you could hit the f/x link at the bottom of your

layer's
pallet and give it a beveled edge or a stroked edge which will put a

thin
red (or other color) line around the image area, way cool.
