Standing Object Illusion

Step 1
Open our picture (it is located here). Picture size is 500px x 375px.

Step 2
We have to remove white background from our picture. First copy background layer (use CTRL + J on the keyboard) and name it back_copy. Insert new layer and put it below our "back_copy" and name it "white". You can now delete our "background layer". Now use Magic Wand tool (W) set tolerance to 20 and click somewhere on white area on "back_copy" layer. Press DEL on keyboard. Next go to the IMAGE - CANVAS SIZE and set new values for dimension of 500px x 750px.

Magazine Style Drop Caps
The magazine style drop caps are easy using copy-and-paste code. More ways to make the first letter big are served cut and paste style in the CSS Drop Cap tutorial. For this drop cap we forced the first big letter to span more than five lines. The font-size is adjusted to exactly 100 pixels while the line height is 80 pixels.

Copy and paste in your Blog or Web page.
