pixlr online image editor: Adding Christmas hat to your profile picture

So Christmas is just around the corner and you of course want to add a Christmas hat to your twitter, facebook, myspace etc picture. In this quick tutorial I'm going to show you how to do this in just 6 easy steps!

Step one: Select and open a hat in Pixlr Editor, just click the hat you like and we will do the magic.

I choose to click the third one and a window opened which look like this:

Hope this is similar to what you see :)

Step two: Now it's time to open a image of you. Click "File" -> "Open" in the top menu. Locate a nice and happy image of you and click "Open"

The image of you will now be open in the editor on top of the image of the hat.

Just like this :) (Oh no I'm not Brad Pit, but it's Christmas and one can wish)

Step three: Click on the window with the hat to put it in front of the image of you, now locate the layers panel at the right, with your mouse Click and drag the "Layer 0" layer to the window with you (yes it's now behind the hat window), drop the layer on-top of the image of you.

The image with you will now pop up in front of the hat and the hat will be copied to the image with you.

Step five: Transform the hat so it fits your head! The image you just copied to the image of yourself kinda don't fit, so now we need to move, resize and maybe rotate the hat so it fits.

In the menu click "Edit -> Free transform". Outline and corners will be added to the image of the hat.

See the Corners!

Move the hat by dragging the entire square. Resize by dragging in one of the four corners, hold down the shift key to constrain the proportions. Rotate by dragging outside of one of the four corners just like I do in this screen-shot:

When you are happy with the size and placing just click outside the square and click "yes" in the dialogue.

Step six: When you are satisfied with the result then it's time to save. Click "File -> Save" in the top menu. Select Jpg and type the name of the file you like, click OK.
