This tutorial is to help you learn how to create a custom border
for any digital photo using masks. I also use this technique
sometimes when I want to crop a lot of the photo away on certain
sides. Once you have your
picture open in photoshop:
1. Add a Reveal All Layer Mask to
your background layer. (Layer>Add Layer Mask>Reveal All).
Your Layer menu should then look something like the image on the
left.(If your background layer has a little lock sign on it you
will have to make a duplicate layer before you can add the layer
mask.) 2.
Then select one of the more interesting paintbrushes like shown on
the left. 3.
And make sure its a good size to work with the border.
4. Then with the
color black selected paint where you want to erase out the new
border. You may have to paint over places multiple times in order
to erase everything, but with practice you can create any kind of
border you like. |
