How to add a colored vignette around the photo

I am trying to just do basic things with Photoshop. I just take pics of my kids and I want to coordinate what they are wearing with a vingette, Can I do this with Adobe? I am so new to this I am not even sure where to go.
Thanks

Here is a tutorial for one method:

If you have an older version of Elements without refine edge:

Personally, I prefer for step #6 in the above tutorial to create a solid color fill adjustment layer instead of dumping paint using the bucket. I prefer the solid color fill adjustment layer because I can change my mind about the color and just double click to change color. I can change the feather soft effect if desired by using levels on the mask to firm up the edge or gaussian blur on the mask to soften it. You can also apply filters that work in grayscale to the mask to create edge effects. (When a mask is targeted, all filters that do not work in grayscale are grayed out.)

  • HOW DO YOU MAKE A VIGNETTE AROUND A PHOTO IN PSE 7?

    HOW DO YOU MAKE A VIGNETTE AROUND A PHOTO IN PSE 7?  ALSO, HOW DO  YOU MAKE THE PHOTO KIND OF HAZY LOOKING?  JUST A SLIGHT BIT FOR EFFECT.  THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!  

    1966desertrat,
    There are various ways to do this; here is one:
    Open picture file
    Duplicate background layer
    Open new blank layer, and fill with white (Edit>fill>white)
    Drag this layer between the background layer and the background copy layer
    On the top layer, make a selection of the subject by dragging with the Elliptical marquee tool, position it to embrace the subject - can use arrow keys on keyboard to fine-tune
    Go to Select>inverse
    Go to Select>feather>try 25px - experiment for degree of feather
    Hit delete on keyboard
    Go to Select>inverse
    Go to Select>deselect
    To blur, go to Filter>blur>gaussian blur and adjust slider to suit

  • How to add style(color) info for the color used in ALV tree nodes

    I have an object for CL_GUI_ALV_TREE and I have added nodes to the tree and has set color for the nodes using 'STYLE' parameter. Now if I have to add the style info to the style(color) then how do I do it using the object I have?

    Yes Eshwar, its similar to what you have written but my problem was that the style has already been assigned in the code and now I want to assign the style info(tooltip text) to the style(colour). I have an object of class cl_gui_alv_tree as of now and I am not able to find out as to how do I proceed to assign style information

  • How can I put a colored border around the whole page?

    I just want to know how to pur a colored border around the whole page?

    Hi Rachel,
    Here's an example. Instructions follow the image:
    Start with a new, Blank word processing document.
    Insert a rectangle shape (the darker green is the default colour)
    Change the colour to your desired border colour, using the Fill Color well in the format bar.
    Set the Stroke to none, using the first popup menu on the Format bar. (I missed this step in the example, leaving the black line seen at the rigth edge of the pages.)
    Drag the handles to resize to shape to cover the whole page.
    Go to the View menu and choose Show Layout to see thae area that text will occupy.
    Insert a second rectangle shape on the page.
    Set its Fill colour to whatever bckground colour you want in the text area,
    Set the Stroke to none.
    Resize the second shape to fit just outside the text area indicated on the Layout.
    Select both shapes, then go Arrange > Group.
    Go Arrange > Move Object to Background.
    Go Format > Advanced > Move Object to Section Master.
    If either of:
    Go Arrange > Make Background Objects Selectable
    Go Format > Advanced > Make Maste Objects Selectable
    have checkmarks beside them,
    Select that item to uncheck it.
    The frame will now appear on every page in the section.

  • I am making a graduation video for my cousin using Final Cut Pro. I have photos layered over videos, and I was wanted to find out how you can add a border around the photos so they stand off of the video. Anyone know what I could do?

    I am making a graduation video for my cousin using Final Cut Pro. I have photos layered over videos, and I was wanted to find out how you can add a border around the photos so they stand off of the video. Anyone know what I could do?

    You would need an image editor to edit the images and add a border to the image first before importing them into Final Cut.
    Cheapest and very good image editor?

  • An you tell me how to add an advanced action to the TEB so you can check for multiple lines of input

    an you tell me how to add an advanced action to the TEB so you can check for multiple lines of input? How do you add the advanced action?

    Can you elaborate your requirement?
    If you want to have a text wrapped around and enable a scroller for the same, you can achieve it by TEB properties and check the scroll bar option,
    Is this what you are looking to achieve?
    Thanks,

    How to add a document type for the residence status GB in infotype 48.

    I believe there is a PDF doc which comes with the component (it should be at your harddrive when you install it), which describes everything you will need.
    In a nutshell, there are two types of relationship: sibling - sibling, parent - child (there are some more nuances, but it follows the same logic).
    A relationship is created between two existing items (not sure, if you can also create a relationship for a new checked in item, but it would be just a usability). You select the type of relationship and the item - I believe depending on the relationship you may start from either item. The dialog to start is INFO (display metadata) or UPDATE (update metadata).
    When a relationship is created you may watch it also from either end (again INFO is the starting point).
    It is quite self-explanatory, so if you have the component installed you may just play around with it for a while and that is it.

  • How to add A single row at the middle of the table in a Webi report

    Hi,
         I created a Webi report using Universe(Created universe using bex query).Now i have a requirement to display a row at the middle of a report. Can you please tell me ,how to add a sigle row at the middle of a Webi report.
                                                    Thanks in advance
    Regards
    Monika

    Hi Monika,
    It is not really possible to add a row (I assume you mean of unrelated data) to the middle of a table in a report. You can add a new table with a single row between two tables. For instance you could add a new one row table, or even single cells which are positioned relatively between two tables. Possibly a block on top of another. But this gets tricky.
    Can you explain in more detail what you are trying to do?
    Thanks

  • I am using photos . I add a camera and make my photos slide in.  How do I add a second behavior to the photo to make it slide out.  I want the photo to hold on the screen for a few seconds in between sliding in and sliding out.

    I am using photos in Motion 5.  I add a camera and make my photo slide in.  How do i add a second behavior to the photo to make it slide out?  I want the photo to hold for a few seconds in between sliding in and sliding out.  When I am trying to do this  I am not getting the photo to hold, i am making one continuous motion which I do not want.
    Thanks

    Are you using the "motion path" behavior? If so just duplicate it and drag it down the timeline to where you want it to start. Trim it to end at the end of the project. The gap you leave in the timeline between the two behaviors is your hold time. Not sure why you are using a camera unless you have a behavior on the camera.If you are using keyframes just set two keyframes at the same position values in the inspector for the hold time.

  • How to add a radio station to the library

    just loaded itunes 6 (windows box) and can't find out how to add a radio station to the library

    If your current stations in WMP are .pls or .m3u URL's, they may work in iTunes also. Use the "Open Stream" command from the Advanced menu and put in the URL that includes .pls/.m3u. If the URL is a .mwv variety, those are Windows proprietary format and not supported by iTunes. Same with .ra streams (Real Audio).
    .pls & .m3u usually indicate MP3 based streams supported in iTunes. It's up to the original radio station/streaming site to select the format and make it available. Shoutcast.com & Live365.com are great resources for mp3 based streams.

  • Does anyone know how to add a preface page at the beginning of the book in ibooks author once the book is written? No matter how I try to add a Preface page, it goes to the end of the book.

    Does anyone know how to add a preface page at the beginning of the book in ibooks author once the book is written? No matter how I try to add a Preface page, it goes to the end of the book.

    Thanks. I've tried this and apparently the template I'm using is one of those where it doesn't work. I've tried dragging it as well as cutting a pasting but it always travels back to the end of the book. Maybe I can try changing the template temporarily, move the preface page, and then convert back to the original template. I'll experiment a little.
