Today I'm going to show you how to combine your Google Plus cover
and profile picture using photoshop
it's quite easy and it takes a couple of minutes
we're going to use this photo and a template
you can download the template
at the link in the description below
I created a layer called "Frame" and guides to show you the areas that are going to be visible
make sure this layer is marked
And go ahead to "File"
and down to "Place"
click on the photo and press enter
now we are going to resize and place the photo
behind the layer "Frame"
once you are satisfied press enter
now we're going to use the crop tool to crop the profile photo
the guides are going to help you to get it right
press enter
go to "File"… "Save as"
and rename the image
let's call it "Profile"
and save it as JPEG
enter and...enter again
go to "Edit" and chose "Step backward"
now crop the cover photo
hide the frame layer and save the photo
name it "Cover"
once again chose JPEG as the file format
enter and…enter again
now let's change my profile photo
select from computer, profile photo …open
"Set as profile photo"
I am going to cancel here and continue to upload my cover photo in the same way
Well, that's it…I hope you enjoyed my tutorial
