Tutorial part 2 (part 1 you can find here)

The zoom tool will zoom in so you see the left side more closely (picture17).

Now select the 'move tool' on your left toolbar again and move this layer until it is exactly over the end of the first layer (picture18).

You need the 'erase tool' (picture19) on your left toolbar now and click on the 50 with your mouse by 'Brush' in your upper toolbar. It will open a window where you can select different brushes, I choose the 41 for our purposes (picture20). Now move the brush to your right side (picture21) and with a mouse-click erase what hangs over there from the layer (picture22).

Duplicate this layer again.

Zoom out now to see the whole cover again. Move the layer to the bottom of the cover and zoom in again to lay it exactly over the left end of the first layer (picture23).

Now, if you are lucky everything fits BUT it is possible that your left side is good but your right side not so much (picture24). Then you have to select the second layer (picture25) on your right layer-window. You will see now that this layer is shown blue in your layer-window. The layer that is active is always blue so you can see there which layer you are working on. Now you can move the layer on your cover a bit up or down until it fits.

When you are done and zoom out now, you will see your first simple ornament on the cover . SAVE THAT!

Done (picture26)!


------------------------------------

Now, if you want for example a second or third same ornament you can deactivate the cover-layer by removing the hook of the cover-layer in the layer-window (picture27). The ground layer is normally locked. So you have to double-click on the locker symbol first, then you will see a hook instead, then you can remove the hook, then you will only see as cover (or mostly see nothing because this layer is in overlay-mode) your created ornament.

Save that as an PNG file, so it will be transparent (picture28) for further use.

Activate the cover-layer in the layer-window again by applying the hook again and then go to 'Layer' on your upper toolbar and select 'open image as layer' (picture29).

Select the previously saved ornament.

Now to move the new ornament-layer, go again to 'Edit' on your upper toolbar and choose 'free transform' to change it in the weight and hight you want it to be (picture30). If you don't want to change the proportions of your image you have to hold the 'Shift' button and then pull (like drag and drop) your image in the size you want it.

Now the layer options on your layer-window (right side) again. I chose for this layer the 'mode: overlay' and 'opacity: 50' so the layer will be a bit lighter than the other (picture31).
