Circle Layout

First things first:
Q: What is a circle layout?
A: A circle layout is a graphic/layout that consists of one or more images, all neatly together in circles. Here is an example:

I used PSP7 for this. I think any other psp higher will work, too.

1. Find two/three or more image sets (or just images) - make sure they are roughly the same size, no gigantic&small ones should be together. I will be using the same set as the example - if you would like to use the same along the way, please feel free.



2. Open up PSP7 and make a new document, make the size a little bit bigger than all three images roughly put together. This makes it easier to work on, and you can add decorations around the side when you are done.

3. Position the images one over another, so they are overlapping. Copy the first image, then click Edit::Paste::As new layer. Position it near to the left hand corner. Do the same with the rest, pasting them equally like so.


4. Use the Selection Tool, the one with the picture of a rectangle in dashed lines. Change the style to Circle, and select a circle on the first (the main) image.



5. Now click Selections::Invert. Your image should now be inverted. Click on Layers, then select (at the bottom) Layer4, unless it's already selected with a tick. On your keyboard, press CTRL + X at the same time. Your first image should be a circle. Repeat this, but on the left-side image, select Layer2, and on the right-side, select Layer3.



6. Once you've done all of them, you should have a neat little graphic (or big) made of circle-images.


7. Now you can add decorations around the side, your site name, or whatever you want! For a tutorial on simple decorations, you can find one HERE
