We released today’s Quick Tip on adding vignettes to your photos. In this video, I show how to do it in in two different types of editing software: Aperture and Photoshop. So, even if you have totally different editing software, you should be able to figure out how to do it, having seen it in Aperture and Photoshop.

Today’s Quick Tip is for Members, so if you would like to have access to this video, and all the others, click here to find out how other people are watching them. ;)

In today’s free video tutorial, I show you step-by-step how to open up an overlay in Photoshop, resize it to meet your needs, and use it like a journaling box for your text. If you have Photoshop Elements, don’t worry–you can do all the same things in Elements.

Rather than watch the version of the video in the window above, I highly recommend you download the high-quality version instead. Trust me–it’s much better. =)

For my example in the tutorial, I used an Ali Edwards photo overlay, which was a major part of my Week In The Life album. Here are two of the pages from my album using the overlay concept from the tutorial…
