MyPaint Bordered Template Pack

Description

If you are painting for a particular print size, MyPaint's infinite canvas can go from being a strength to a weakness. For this reason, I previously created a template to be used as a background or starting point, from which you can create your border for a particular size.

This Template Pack goes one step further. Rather than having a template which will allow you to sketch in a border, these templates have the border already in place. The also have broken lines places for the "rule of thirds" composition method.

The zip file contains portrait and landscape versions of the following size image templates:
5x7 @ 300dpi
8x10 @ 300 dpi
11x14 @ 300 dpi

Since the images are quite simple, you can use them as a starting point for any other sizes you may want, or to create your own version at higher DPI, using GIMP.

I'm grateful to you for making these, but MAN ALIVE did installing these put me through mess of grief! 

First, MyPaint didn't recognize them because they were .ORAs. So I changed them to .PNGs and tried again. Then I got a message saying MyPaint was IGNORING them because they had ALPHA CHANNELS! So after getting rid of the alpha channels, MyPaint THEN tells me it's ignoring them because the image dimensions needed to be multiples of 64! So after altering the sizes, MyPaint FINALLY accepted them!
