Hello you wonderful bloggers!
It’s Serena Miller here to show you how to master making stretch headers on FotoFlexer!
Let’s get started, shall we?
♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
First, you will have to look for a picture of your FC or a generic picture, and I usually get my images from WeHeartIt. The picture should have some sort of blurred background to it, since that is the easiest way to make a stretched header.
I’ll be using this picture for this demonstration.
♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
Step 1: Go to FotoFlexer.com, and once it loads, click upload photo, which is located on the upper right side. (Note: It will take a couple of seconds to load).
Your screen should look like this.
Step 2: Click “Upload” once again, and select the image you would like to use for your header. Then, click “Open” once you have selected the image.
Step 3: Once you have uploaded your picture, click “Load Another Photo” which is located on the upper right hand corner
Step 4: Click “Edit From My Computer” and choose the same picture that you currently have, then click “Open”.
Step 5: Now that you have a dotted background instead of a plain white background, you can delete the extra photo that you have just uploaded.
Step 6: Resize the picture so that it looks like that it could fit your theme.
Your screen should look like this, now with the dotted background instead of the plain white background.
Step 7: You should see a whole selection of editing your picture, that is just below the “Load Another Photo” as mentioned above. If you are not already on the “Basic” section, then click “Basic”.
Step 8: Click “Copy Region”, and now, click at the upper left hand corner or upper right hand corner, whichever has more of a blurred background, and drag your mouse down. Make sure your little box that you have lines up on the top and bottom
Next, click “Copy Selected Area”.
Step 9: Your screen should know show the piece that you copied from your photo, and your original picture. Now, click your image and drag it to the right a bit so you have room to stretch the copied piece.
Step 10: Move the copied piece on top of the original picture, and stretch it over your original image using the side buttons on the copied piece. (Note: Once the copied piece is completely over your original image, stretch the piece a little more.)
Your screen should look like this!
Step 11: On the same bar that the “Basic” section is in, on the right side, click “Layers”, and then click “Push Back”.
Your screen should now look like this, with your original image showing now.
Step 12: On the same bar where the “Basic” section is, click “Decorate” and then click “Erase”
Step 13: After you have clicked on “Erase” you should get a black dot. If you would like to resize the dot, then a scale should have appeared when you clicked “Erase”. Start erasing the background of the original picture, and do NOT erase the blur you created. Also, try not to erase the image of your FC, or of your generic image. (Note: You should resize the black dot when you need to erase small spaces.)
Ta da! The finished header! The picture of your FC or a generic image should stand out from the blurred background!
(Note: If you would like to add text, FotoFlexer has a lot of font choices! In this tutorial, I will be using “Discover Beauty”)
I hope you all try this tutorial for how to make stretch headers on FotoFlexer!
