This explains one way of implementing this look to a standard image in photoshop
5.0. There are probably more than 2 ways to do anything in Photoshop. This
just happens to be a nice and easy way and a quick one at that. |
| 1. First
make sure your Image is in RGB mode. - After
your image is open (or if your starting a new one) go to Image>Mode>
and select RGB Color. This will allow
you to add Layers.
|
|
2. Now Create
a new Layer. - Go
to Layer>New>Layer click OK.
|
| 3.
Select the New layer and Fill it with the color white.
So the entire Image is covered. Make sure you are doing this all in the Layer
you just created. If you make any mistakes, remember that you can undo your last
move with CTRL+Z. |
4. Now go to Select>ALL or (Ctrl+A). You should see a dotted line (trail
of ants) encompass the image. |
5.
Go to Select>Modify>Border.
A window will pop-up and ask you how much space in pixels to put around
your image. A good number is 10 but you can feel free to manipulate it
to your needs.
|
| 6.
Now select the paint bucket and fill the outside selected area of
the border in black. |
| 7.
Hit Deselect (Ctr+d) and then select the magic wand tool. Using
the wand click inside the white area of the Layer and then hit Delete. |
| 8.
That's it! Now you have an image that has a nice, even border and an easy way
of doing it. |
