A menu then opens which is shown below and you can then pick the shape you wish to use as your splash or flash.



 I created the smaller image at the bottom of the magazine spread by opening the picture like the main image then used the crop tool which is the 5th tool on the left hand side to chop of the top half of the picture. I then used free transform in the edit list to make the image smaller.
