DESCRIPTION:
This
tutorial shows you how you can make an outstanding frame to
decorate your photos with ... by using PI and different filters.
|
For this tutorial, as for all of them, we are going to make a
lot of similar frames/borders, with the same
color/fill/pattern - using the same steps over again -, so
next time I'm only referring to 1 White or 2 Color
(=Foreground color). Just repeat
the steps I'm explaining for the first frame/border. (Always
expand sides equally, and with the pixels mentioned in front
of the color.)
To make it more easy to select a border, right click/All,
right click/Border and set the Pixels of the border for the
Border width, Direction: Inward, Shape: Box.
You can always use the Magic Wand Tool, but this way it's more
easy if you use similar colors for the background and the
border. (On the assumption that all sides have been expanded
equally!)

Choose a
Foreground color (white arrow) - 47/104/40 -, and go to Adjust/Expand Canvas/Expand sides equally

click/Shadow and use the 5.one (red arrow) with these
settings:
