Photoshop – Fancy Photo Frame, Border, Edge – Tutorial

Filed in Random 22 comments







For HIGH QUALITY: FreePhotosAndArt.com Sharp full screen video on home site. In today’s tutorial, I’m going to show you how to make a nice photo frame. Open your image, and make sure that the layers palette is open. Right-click on your background, duplicate the layer, call this layer “Frame”. Now right-click on your background once again, duplicate the layer, call the next one “Picture”. OK Now we are going to increase our canvas size so we have some room to work with. Click “Image”, “Canvas Size”, and for a picture of this size, with these dimensions, I’m going to increase each dimension by 100.

Now, click on the “Frame” layer, and then Ctrl-click on the frame layer, and we’ll have a selection that surrounds just the photo portion. And we want to click on “Layer”, “Layer Mask”, and “Reveal Selection”.

We want a thin border, so, once again we are going to Ctrl-click on the layer to get that same selection we had earlier, and we’re going to go “Select”, “Modify”, “Contract”. I’m going to

    That gave some great ideas. I would like to see some hints to achieve some similar effects to the frames of Kevin Kubota. Any idea? maybe that can be the next tutorial!!! Thanks a lot for sharing such valuable info.

    If you have the same version of photoshop, it should be where shown in the video. If you can’t find it, you can create a texture to use by creating a small file with a rough feel … scribble or splatter and experiment until you like the look.
