edit image help

If you have used PS then you know that the image posted is way too small. The best way is rebuild it.

For something that will print about 15cm x 15cm @ 300 ppi (photo quality) you need about 1800 x 1800 pixels

Rebuilding in Gimp looks complicated but think in sections
Base image then text then included "Photos"



All standard Gimp except fonts, and wood pattern (find what suits you)

An up-to-date pdf of Gimp help http://gimp.linux.it/www/meta/

Things to look for
layer groups - keep control of the text
paths - for the shapes
layer masks - for the 'photo layers'
drop shadow
and all the rest

As a starter, a link to the Gimp file, Same as PS Gimp files tend to be large. Save as a .xcf or .xcfgz to keep all layers masks etc. When complete Export as a (much smaller) single layer png.
