How to make a header

Start with a new image which can be any size,I use 780x240 pixals, and set to white background

Now you have your blank template,so lets spice it up a bit with a texture. Go to file, Browse and this will open all of your pictures in a specific folder.

Select any texture you want, I'm selecting this pink one here
next go to edit, copy. Then you can close out of the other stuff leaving your white template left. Go to that white image and edit paste as new layer.

Sometimes the texture may not fit into the white template, that is easy to fix, simply go to the deformation tool, and you will be able to streatch the texture to fit like so.

Now I have my texture to fit the white template, lets add some images.

I went back to file ,browse then chose a picture I wanted to use.I picked this picture of a woman,then went to edit, copy. Now close down that picture and go to the first of which we were working on.

Once there you click edit,paste as new layer. Then I moved her over to the right hand side, you can put the picture whever you want.

Go to Layers,Merge then Merge all and flatten.Now I'm going to add a border to it using a psp plugin called Border Maina, and 3d soft color #1,another little screen will pop up.

and set the border width to 14, Highlight Intesity to 144, and Shadow Intensity to 92, Notch Corners Checked, then hit ok and it will look like this.You can add other things as well like another picture or brushes.

Then You want to add some sort of text be it for a website or whatever your doing the header for.This is for my personal website, so next I will click on the text tool it will look like the letter A.Now once you click that ,point your mouse on the image and left click bringing up the text window.
