3. Select the Bitmap Gallery from the Utilities menu.

4. Right click on the edge file in the Bitmap Gallery and select Apply as transparency from the context menu.

5. Use the handles of the edge object to make it the same size as the photo. Makes sure that the edge lies over the photo.

7. Choose Group from the Arrange menu or press Ctl+ G to combine both objects.

8. Select Create Bitmap Copy from the Arrange menu or press Ctl+ G to combine both objects.
