Focus Orb images

 * Open your screenshot
 * Zoom in (Ctrl++) on the Focus Orb as far as needed
 * Activate Select tool (m)
 * Activate “Elliptical Marquee“, use fixed size and try 115px
 * Click near the focus orb and fit the selection using cursor keys
 * Use “Image/Crop” command
 * Use “Select/Inverse” command (Shift+Ctrl+i)
 * Activate “Eraser” (e), mode “Magic Eraser”
 * Click on one of the edges to activate transparency then hit del to clean the selected area
 * Save your orb using png format (Shift+Ctrl+s) (jpg does not support transparency)

Description box images
Preparation: You need a library of cropped frames using transparency, each in two files (top, bottom)


 * Open your screenshot
 * Zoom (Ctrl++) in on the description box as far as needed
 * Activate Select tool (m), activate “Rectangular Marquee” mode
 * Draw your selection frame around the box; if the box is very high, it’s mandatory that the left and right borders are part of the selection
 * Use “Copy to clipboard” command (Ctrl+c)


 * Open the top part of the required frame.
 * Expand the Canvas height (Ctrl+Alt+c) to match the copied box plus some space for the bottom frame
 * Paste the copied box (Ctrl+v), activate Move mode (v) and fit it to the frame using cursor keys
 * Reorder the layers with the frame on top


 * Open the bottom part of the required frame.
 * Copy and paste it on top of your frame/box
 * Activate Move mode (v) and fit it to the bottom of the box using cursor keys


 * Merge layers using “Merge Visible” (Shift+Ctrl+e). Don’t use “Flatten Image”; you may lose transparency
 * Crop the not used bottom part of the Canvas.
 * Save your orb using png format (Shift+Ctrl+s) (jpg does not support transparency)
