Fruit Bowl

Start by copying the fruit bowl picture below into FW.

Select the Magic Wand tool - set the Edge to "anti-alias" - not "hard".

Click in the white area around the bowl...then Delete key.

CTRL+D to deselect (get rid of marching ants). You won't see any difference on the canvas yet, but you should then see the layer go from having a white background to having the transparent squares.

Now change the Canvas Size so there's room for the fruit. Change it to be 400 x 300(MODIFY>Canvas>...), or click off the canvas with the black arrow tool.

Copy the apple and grapes pictures, and paste into the fruit bowl document.


For each picture,

  1. click with the Wand on the white in each picture
  2. Delete.
  3. Then CTRL+D to deselect.

Make sure the layer you want to select the white from is also selected in the Layers panel.

With the black arrow tool, move layers up/down so the fruit bowl is in front and the fruit is behind. Also move fruit so they're overlapping each other.
