Simple Polaroid Design


This tutorial will teach you how to make a simple yet effective polaroid style image using shapes and standard images with a very nice end result, very easy to follow and understand.

Step 1: First of all make a new document size 500 x 500 and fill the background with default black.

Step 2: Now choose the “Rectangle Tool” and draw a fairly large white rectangle as shown below, and then right click this layer and choose “Rasterize Type”:



Step 3: Now choose the “Rectangular Marquee Tool” and draw a selection as shown below, once happy with your selection simply press delete and it should delete the selection and you will end up with a Polaroid shape:



Step 4: Now double click the Polaroid layer which should bring up the “Blending
Options” and use the settings below:



Step 5: To put a picture into the Polaroid simply find the picture you want and open it up in a new document, when this is done grab the move tool on the Polaroid document and drag and drop the Polaroid onto the image document as shown below:



Step 6: Now resize and position your Polaroid onto the image so that you are happy with the selection



Step 7: Now again grab the “Rectangular Marquee Tool” and select the inner part of the Polaroid image, with the original image selected choose the move tool and simply press CTRL +C and then CTRL + V to copy and paste the selected image, now go back to the original image layer and press delete to leave you with the image below:



Step 8: Next double click the selected part of the image layer and it will bring up the blending options now use the settings below:



Step 9: To finish simply choose the text tool and the font “Lucida Handwriting” and write out the title of the image on the whit space at the bottom of the Polaroid.
