You need the Alpha Channel Selections Image. Unzip to a folder
of your choice. DESK SORTER FILE HERE

I have included the Wood pattern I used. It came with PSP 7 and 8 but not 9. Unzip to the Patten folder in PSP or just Open in PSP to use.

Open up the wgbdesksorter Image do a Shift D to duplicate and close out the Original.

Copy and Paste as a New Layer Above the Shelf 1 Layer. Go to Image Rotate and Rotate Left 85%. Depends on where the image is. Could be Right. Sharpen once again. And move into Place. Same for Shelf 2. If you use the deform tool to adjust more, just make sure to Sharpen.
