TUTORIAL: Creating Layer Outlines, 3 Methods

[im42n8 Profile Private messageWebsite]

ProShow Producer has 3 methods of creating a layer outline: The Outline Feature, The Vignette Feature, and the Outline you create yourself. Each has its pro's and con's.

When, you mask your image to control its size and shape (or for any number of excellent reasons), the Producer features for an outline just won't cut it. In that case, you are on your own. I've written an article that discusses each option for creating an outline. Plus, it introduces you to a couple of methods for manually creating your own outline at whatever thickness/width you want.
