MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Chalkfull of Delight would just like to say MERRY CHRISTMAS! We have been so blessed this year and as our way of saying THANK YOU we are giving away FOUR free printables! That's right FOUR...FREE! :)
How to use your Chalkfull of Delight STOCK PHOTO
Hey there! Thanks for downloading our stock photo! We hope you & your fans love it as much as we do. Now its time to make it your own!
1. Start by opening your stock photo in Photoshop.
2. Next, open the file you would like overlay on top of the stock photo.
3. Drag this file on top of the stock photo and re-size to the size needed by holding down shift (for windows), clicking on one of the corners and dragging until it is the desired size.
4. Once its the size needed go ahead and hit enter. If you'd like, you can use it just like this. :) (If you'd like to go ahead and click file>save, save it to a location you can easily find it :)
5. Because this white in the print is so white, I like to tone it down so that it looks more natural. To do this start by creating a rectangle.
6. I like to make it gray, for this example I used color: b7b7b7
7. Now we will adjust the opacity so that our print shines through. Select the print layer in the layers panel and adjust the opacity. I set it at 12%.
8. Enjoy the final result! File>Save and then use wherever you'd like! :)
Without gray overlay:
With gray overlay:
If you're using a desktop stock photo follow these same steps, except we will want to add a shadow also. To do that read the following instructions:
1. With the layer that you would like to add a shadow to selected go ahead and click the shadow button in the "styles" side panel.

2. Double click the " Drop Shadow" button under your selected layer.
3. This panel will pop up. Here you can adjust opacity, distance, spread, and size. I have mine set as follows:
opacity: 9
distance: 3
spread: 3
size: 18
When desired look is achieved click okay.
4. Then save and enjoy! :)
