Convert Square flower trim to Round trim

Jul 10, 2012 11:10 AM

Tags: #editor #elements_10

I need for someone to point me in the right direction to take a square flower trim on the outside border of a frame, and convert or transfer it to a "Round" flower trim on the outside border of the frame. I can't seem to accomplish this using the elliptical selection tool. Maybe someone has a simple way to do this?  Jimmy

    Hatstead, I am going to try to paste the square Pic with the border, and the Round Pic that needs the same border. I hope you will see what I mean.

    Did you apply the flower trim with a brush?

    No Sir. Found the jpg with the design already on it, and it was a rectangle. Making it square was easy. Now the hard part..... the Circle.

    To a certain extent, you can 'round' the border with either the spherize filter or the correct camera distortion one, but anyway you would need a high resolution file to begin with.

    Colonel,

     

    You can improvise.

    Google for flower brushes - photoshop and install a set that you like.

    I found an azalea brush on my machine. Draw a circle and place the flower in a circular orientation.

    You can place each one, if you so desire, on a separate layer and fine-tune using the move tool.

    Once you have made your own template, save it.

    I took this a step further - lots of possibilities here. Thanks for the idea.

    Fantastic solution! Thanx! I had not thought of that and it does open the door for quite a few more possibilities.  Again, Thanks.  Jimmy
