Tip of the Week – Quirky Keylines
Thu, Jan 1, 1970
I just discovered this little technique while playing in Photoshop. You can use this whether you own Fundy Album Builder or not. Album Builder will allow you to batch apply this technique, versus doing it one by one. Very simple, just click “Keylines, etc.” in Fundy Album Builder or choose Layer Styles from the Layers menu in Photoshop. If you have a texture under your photos (or a color, but textures work better), choose “overlay’ as the Blend Mode on your Stroke. That will allow an overlay function to blend with the color of the texture, and, in turn, give you a very cool looking keyline, border or frame. I’ve done a very thick version above for the example so you can see the result. The cool thing is that it is so fast to do. Just a couple of clicks. Next time you use a texture under a photo, give this technique a try.
