Embossing with MDS

MDS Embossing Page

This is a page I did for my first photo album in My Digital Studio. You will notice that I have some embossing at the top of the page. I am going to show you how to get the embossing effect in My Digital Studio. It takes a little work but is well worth the effort.

The first step is to place your stamp where you want it and then resize it to the size you want it. Make this layer white. While it’s highlighted (like above) hit Ctrl+C to copy. Then hit Ctrl+Shift+V to paste in place. Hit the down arrow key twice and hit the right arrow key twice.

Now you can see how the two layers are in slightly different place and it looks like a white shadow on the blue stamp. Now hit Ctrl+Shift+V again. Your stamp will now be pasted in the original spot again. On this layer, match your color to the background layer. Move this layer down one and right one space.

And, waalaa! You have your embossed image on a digital page.

My Digital Studio will be available for customer purchase on October 1. But I will be posting more samples between now and then. So be sure to check back to see what else I’ve learned about the possibilities of this program.
