MeXe Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Hey this is just a very basic tutorial on how to make borders. If you want to use this on a signiture for this board, make sure that the image is 292 x 142 or less. The one im using is alot smaller than that. Step 1 Get your image, here is the one that i used: Step 2 Go to image, then canvas size. Change both pull-down menu's to pixel, and add 2 pixels to the number that is already there: Before: After: Step 3 Create a new layer by clicking on Layer, New, Layer. In the layer box (you can enable this by going to Window, Layers) click on the new layer that you made and drag it down below the original layer. Now fill that layer in with black. Note: If you want, you can just leave it like that, but to make the layer look even cooler, read on. Step 4 Again, go to image then canvas size. Do the same thing you did above, but this time add 4 pixels to the number already there, instead of 2. Now go to the layer you filled in with black, and fill the empty area in with white. This is what you should have now: Step 5 Just repeat steps 2 and 3, but when you have to fill the area in with black, you have to click on the very corner as you did in step 4. I added some text and this is what I came up with: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kngkyle Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 Oh, and just a question, how did you do the squares? Most likely you just zoom in pretty far, and use the pencil tool. :wink: Nice tut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatsilverwyrm Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 a far simpler method: Create a new layer, keep it on top. Go to edit>stroke Set it to 3 px, inside, and make the color black. Go back to stroke, set it to 2 px, inside, and make the color white Back to stroke again, 1 px, inside, black Voila. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
