How to make a feathered border?

[woopidoo2]

I have never posted here for help, but there has got to be a first time :anxious:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am making an own website, to fill up my spare time.

 

 

 

Now I need a place to put my text on, and I dont want a simple

 

 

 

squared border.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I need a softened border (I think it is called a feathered border)

 

 

 

and it looks like this;

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(offcourse I meen the left part of the image)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That picture is from a tutorial, but it doesnt fit my version of photoshop.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I tried searching everywhere, and I hardly ask for help.

 

 

 

But now I just dont know, maybe you can help?

Knew I got it on top of my head.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyways.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On the rectangle select, there is a small option on top of screen (In CS it is)

 

 

 

That there is feather: 0px (I think it was)

 

 

 

Changed it to 25px, or just play around with it.

I tried doing that, but when i want to stroke it, I get this big, black

 

 

 

area, and not a straight line like normal borders.

First make a new layer(the border layer)

 

 

 

Fill it with the color of border.

 

 

 

Use the Rounded Rectangle tool to make a rounded rectangle inside the sig.

 

 

 

Make selection with the rounded rectangle tool.

 

 

 

Delete things inside the border.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You should end up with something like this.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hope this helps. Feel free to PM me.
