Let us try „Blush Boost‟, click here


This one with pink box will appear and you can choose [1]color and size of brush and you can view the brush

size (the round one) just like in number [2]


Now that we‟re finished for each faces, we can now click „Apply‟.


To add text to the photo, click here


Let‟s select Bilbo Swash Caps and click „Add Text‟


These two will appear on your working space, Text toolbox and the textbox


Choose the desired color, size, etc. and type the desired text.


Now there‟s the photo with text.


Let‟s now put on overlays. Click here.


You can add geometric shapes or hearts, and many more. Let‟s try a geometric shape.


This overlay toolbox will appear and the oblong that I chose.


In the toolbox we can choose different color and we can also fade the color.


I‟ll be deleting the geometric shape since I won‟t be using that one, but Iet‟s scroll down

and look for „Corners‟.


Select on „Corners‟ as overlays and placed them on four corners. Beautiful!


Click here (1) to view and select a frame you like.

In this let‟s select Simple Edge (2) for our frame.


After selecting the desired frame, it will appear on our photo and we can adjust its thickness and color from

the box below. Don‟t forget to click „Apply‟ after all changes.


As for me, I like what the photo turned out for its simple, classic black and white frame so I

already clicked „Apply‟.
