Open your Photo Tag .psp image if you closed it out earlier. Now we can work on adding the accents.
Step 16 If you are pleased with the layout of your photos, you can hide the background layer (RED X). Make sure one of your photo layers is highlighted and Merge/Merge Visible. You can UNhide your background layer now.
Step 17 Add a NEW Raster layer and go to Selections/Load Save Selections/Load selections from disk. Locate the selections folder where you stored the Phototag selections and click on phototag-Xleft-pjk. This will add the "X" strip on the LEFT side of your main photo image.
