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 3 Acadie (=fill with a tile
from Acadie).
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!)
