GRAPHIC HACK winner !

GRAPHIC HACK WINNER :

To save time mounting work, add a black border to text / images before printing them out .

If you are running out of paper to mount on , cut out paper to the size you need for the image & then cut out the middle of the paper – use this section to mount something else on .

When using a brush tool on Photoshop, clicking the Square Bracket will enlarge the brush size. Clicking the opposite bracket will toggle & reduce the size. Try it !
