how to use templates

Ever wonder how people got those cool scalloped edge templates to work? Or how they got those curves? Hey...how did you cut your photo in a heart...or get a flower out of that cool paper?

Well this tut is for you.

1. open a blank layer
2. drag your template, draw your shape or type your text
3. open up the paper or photo you want to use
4. drag it on top of template, shape or text and adjust size...make sure that it covers your bottom layer
5. hit cntrl g
6. go to your layer palette (where all your layers are listed...where the little eyeballs are, lol) click the box next to the paper/photo and the template/shape/phot
7. now hit cntrl e

tahdahhhhhhhh you did it!
