1.  Open up your image that your going to use.  Remember to pick something that will look like it is standing out of the frame..

2.  Right click on your new image under layers and "Promote the image.

3. Now rename it Pic1

4.  Duplicate Pic1 by right clicking on it under layers, rename that new layer Pic2. You should now see this:

5.  Close off Pic2 by clicking on the eye and activate Pic1 by clicking on it.  It should be highlighted blue like so:

.

6.  Now with your selection tool selected at a rectangle with the following settings were going to box off a portion of our graphic.  The reason we are using the rectangle is so that we can frame out image a little later. 

7.  You want to box out the image so that whatever graphic you are using will eventually appear like it is stepping out of the frame.  See how I made my selection:

Notice that the outline above has my 1st wolf's had and a portion of its body on the outside of the box that I made.  This will be the part that will appear to be stepping out of the frame.

8.  Once your satisfied with rectangle selection go up to selections and click on invert.

9.   Now go to your key board and click the delete key.  You should now have something that looks like this:

10.  Select none.

11.  Now were going to get a little interesting here.  So follow along step by step.  With your pic1 still activated go to edit/copy and pick a blank spot on your PSP and right click and Paste as a new image..

This will be the one that we will frame

12.  My piece for framing looks like this:

13.  Now make a pretty frame to complement your graphics this is what mine looks like when I was all done. Don't forget your watermark this is a perfect time to add it.

Poor headless Wolf.  But no fear were going to add the rest now.

14. When your completed with your frame go up to edit/copy.

15.  Just in case you screw up don't close your "New" framed copy.  Minimize it.

16.  Now go back to your original project and right click on it and paste the new frame as a "new Layer". Rename it as framed.

.

17.  Now you should have 3 layers on the original project.  Go to Pic1 and delete it.  We are replacing it with the framed one.

18.  Now open up Pic2 and double click on the word so the properties box opens up.  Now drop down your Opacity so that you can start to see the frame under the original picture.  Note take a look at the screen shot at "open this" if you click and open those up you will be actually able to see the changes before you click "ok" that way you don't have to back up as much.  Once your happy that you can see the borders of the frame (that's the goal) click Ok.

19. This is were it gets a little tricky.  You need to line up your "New" framed image with the old pic2 image.  So activate the frame layer and with the raster deform tool and your frame layer active move it so that the pictures even up like so .

Honestly I think this portion is the hardest part of the entire tut.  Once you have this done you will see how it comes altogether. On a side note its okay if it looks a tad blurry because were going to fix that.  The most important thing to remember is that the outer portion of your picture matches like above my head and legs of my wolf on the left matches up were it would have left off from the frame.

20. Once you have your 2 pictures lined up now active pic2 layer and click on your lasso selection tool.  Settings should look like this:

21. On pic1 one start outlining the portion of the picture that you want to appear like it is stepping out of the frame like so:

22.  Once your happy with the outline go to selections and click invert.  Then on your key board hit the delete key.  I have this now:

23.  Select none..

24.  Once again double click on the Pic2 layer and increase the opacity to 100 like so:

Resize it and save it as a gif and your done.
