Using Photoshop to prepare images[edit]

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)

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

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)
