Koya Image Magic

All these beautiful images at  Susan 's , and sometimes you just want to use it, as it is. So give it a beautiful frame.

7-15-07 - Revision - I discovered I was making the resize part of the tute more difficult than necessary.



Simply resize the original image by 100 x 100 more than it's original size. If it's 455x324, resize to 555x424! <-- use the exclamation mark.


Go to EFFECTS, choose gaussian blur. Use 20x20 to 30x30 for the blur.


Next go to DRAW.  Choose ROUND RECTANGLE

Fill Color = rgba(0,0,0,.70)   No Stroke

Parameters - the first & last set of numbers are always the same.

The middle set will depend on the width and height of your image, which you can see in the status bar. Reload if it's not showing.  Subtract 35 from the width and 35 from the height. Using these numbers as an example,  455x324, subtracting 35 from each of them will give you the numbers for the middle set.

This would be your parameters for the above dimensions:

35,35  420,289  30,30


Composite the original using over, difference, lighten, or modulate.

Resize to desired size, and save
