Needed:
Photoshop
Template File

Step 3: Drop in your image

Find the image on your computer that you’d like to have in the bezel. Drag the image and drop it onto your open template file. I used an image of Becky.

STEP 4: Drag image below template and size it

Do you see in my layers panel, over on the right, where the image is above the “Keep this on top” folder? Drag the image below so that it is now under the shape. Now you can size it to fit the template to your preference. (Hold the shift key as you drag the corner of the image so it stays in proportion.)

STEP 5. Save your image.

In the menu bar up top, go to File, and then Save As… Save your image as a jpg so that it will flatten it and Viola! You now have an image sized to the bezel and ready for printing, cutting and placing in bezel!

After you save enough of your bezel images you can print them out on a sheet of paper.
