I want to put my pictures in a hexagon. How can I do this with photoshop
6.0?
sjammi,
Try below.
Open an image in Photoshop.
Tap the "D" key on your keyboard to return Photoshop’s Foreground & Background colors to their default state.
Hold ALT and Double Click on Background in the Layers Palette to turn it into an actual layer.
Add a Layer Mask to this "Layer 0".
Select your Custom Shape Tool [U] and choose "Custom Shape" (the rounded-off "star/blob") up in the Options Bar
From the 3 modes of Custom Shape creation at the left side of the Options Bar, choose "Fill Pixels."
Select a shape from the drop down menu.(hexagon)
Drag out the shape in your document window.
You will see that the inside of the shape has been "cut out" (masked, actually) from your image.
Making sure that the "focus ring" is active on the Layer Mask icon in your Layers Palette, hold CTRL and tap the "I" key to invert the black and white colors in the mask.
See how that affects the "Cut Out?"
Now, with the focus ring still present around the Layer Mask icon, bring up your Filter—
