How to use a *.jpg's format mask
A PSP9 tutorial, by PrettyJu

Some of you asked me how to make a top border like I made in my preview
and others asked me how to use a mask in jpg format.
So I wrote a tutorial to answer both questions.

In PSP, open the .jpg's mask and minimise.

Open a new canva 1024x300 (or the height you want).

Fill the canva with a pattern of your choice you get this:

Go to: Layers - New Mask Layer - From Image...    

Find YourMask.jpg:

Then, go to Layers - Merge - Merge Group.

Layers - New Raster Layer...

Fill this new raster with a colour (or pattern) of you choice.

Layers - Arrange - Move Down:

In the layer palette, active your top layer (group-raster) by cliking to highlight the layer:

Effects - 3D effects - Drop Shadow...
(I used this settings, but you can use your own!)

Layers - Merge - Merge All (Flatten):

I hope this tutorial help you!
