Sell Your Downloads at DeviantART

Just update and change my old posts to make them look decent, I hope.

Just in case you can not find any download button for my free stuffs at my deviantART gallery, a little bit updated information about deviantART here. Now, deviantART is changing constantly and you might need to log in your account to download from time to time anything FREE and it is FREE to join in. Once you log in, download button at right hand side if you want to download FREE resources.

You can also sell your products( psd,ai,abr,csh...etc. or in zip file) at deviantART even if you have a FREE account. Just do NOT sell virus.

More GIMP resources at deviantART are here,http://lavandalu.deviantart.com/favourites/55907554

New Found FREE PNG Frame

Please visit http://photobucket.com/images/png%20frame?page=17 For download, click picture and then select download at right hand side below the "media options".

P.S. A list of mens' photo frames, http://kopona.org/frames-for-photo/mensframes/

One more P.S.:
You may want to consider blending your photos with png picture frames by using FREE online software at pixlr.com (http://pixlr.com/editor/)
1. Open pixlr editor (http://pixlr.com/editor/)
2. Select "Open image from computer"
3. Choose any PNG frame with transparent background (background removed)
4. Select "Layer", then "Open image as layer". You may choose any of your own photos (.jpg, excluding photos for insulting intentions) and then, at right hand side, move the layer with your jpg photo down and below the .png frame layer.
5. Select "Edit", then select "Free transform". You may adjust size of your .jpg photo(s) by pulling /dragging cater-cornered to make sure the proportion of the photo remains still.
6. Press Enter, then select "yes" to confirm the change or "No" to restart.
7. Finally, select "File" and "Save" and then choose a location to save file. Click "okay" to save final work.
P.S. Most png frames of my design in this gallery (http://lavandalu.deviantart.com/gallery/35276593) are in 4"x 6" print size (10cm x 15cm in high resolution => 2362 x 3543) by default.
If you are interested in more photo frames, why not try this one (imikimi.com, click here http://www.imikimi.com/#panels[0][url]=%2Fbrowse%2Fgrid_view%3Fbrowse_mode%3Dhottest%26browse_time_mode%3Dthis_week&panels[0][context]=Frames&panels[0][title]=All%20Kimis&panels[0][width]=auto&panels[0][current]=true). This website features different FREE photo frames (it is free only if you use PC rather than smartphones or something else) and enables you to save your photos for prints or share.

For .PSD layer frame, you can not use pixlr editor, but you may want to consider a FREE open source that is GIMP2.8. Outline of blending photos with .psd layer frames by using GIMP is listed below:
1.      Go to GIMP official website to download GIMP2.8.6, http://www.gimp.org/downloads/
2.      Run GIMP and choose language to install
3.      For creating shortcut of GIMP on desktop, go to start menu and then search “GIMP”. Then, move optical mouse to GIMP2 and right click optical mouse. Select “send to” and then “desktop (create shortcut)”
4.      Click GIMP 2 on your desktop shortcut (you may need to wait for it to response)
5.      Before blending photos, make sure layer function is on, so click “Windows” in GIMPàclick “Dockable Dialogsàselect “Layers” (or Ctrl+L)
6.      To open a new psd file, “File”à”Open”àselect any psd frameàclick “Open”
7.      At layer panel (should be at right hand side), there are many layers. You can deselect unwanted layers (e.g. other people’s photos and background) by unticking the eye of the layer.
8.      To add your own photo, go to “File”àclick “Open as Layers”àchoose any of your jpg photoàclick “Open”. Then, your photo will appear in one of many layers at layer panel
9.      If you do not see a Toolbox-Tool Options(it is usually at left hand side when you start GIMP) , then go to “Windows” in GIMP2àclick “Toolbox-Tool Options”àselect “Scale Tool” to change size of your photoàselect “Scale”
10.  Move your photo below the frame
11.  To save your image in your desired file extension, go to “File”àclick “Export” (or press Shift+Ctrl+E)à at the bottom area (all export image), you can select your own format, such as png or jpg. At the area of name, you can retype the name, but be sure of file extension is the same as file extension at area of all export image. Finally, save final image in any folder you want to choose by click “Export”.

Legally FREE e-books at Amazon.com

Amazon.com offers English legally free e-books to worldwide, as far as I found. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss/183-4236010-3373459?url=search-alias%3Ddigital-text&field-keywords=free
Just go to Amazon.com and then choose Kindle Store to search "FREE". Afterwards, there is a list that is full of free e-books ($0.00) or very low price e-books and it accepts Taiwanese credit card and Taiwanese delivery address as long as you purchase at Kindle Store, unlike Kindle Store at Amazon.co.uk (Taiwanese delivery address is not acceptable at Amazon.co.uk at all).

To view e-books at Amazon.com, you do not have to purchase their kindle device because you can always choose to install kindle application (more detail, visit http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/ref=dig_arl_box?ie=UTF8&docId=1000493771 ) at your PC or as plug-in (extension) to your chrome browser by using kindle cloud reader (more detail, visit http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/ref=dig_arl_box?ie=UTF8&docId=1000493771 ).
