In a poster type picture I saw a beautiful white thin border around the print about a quarter of an inch inside the picture. I have played with this by drawing a line around the picture using the shift key, however I know it must be easier using layers..any suggestions...I have placed a small picture in my portfolio (nt_sm) with this thin border idea...
thanks

ps...........just finished epson print academy...wow...well worth the money..
Select the area or layer you want to stroke.
Choose Edit > Stroke.
In the Stroke dialog box, specify the width of the hard-edged border. Values can range from 1 to 250 pixels.
To set the stroke color, click the color swatch to select a color in the color picker.
For Location, specify whether to place the border inside, outside, or centered over the selection or layer boundaries.
Specify a blending mode and an opacity. (See Setting options for painting and editing tools.)
To stroke only areas containing opaque pixels on a layer, select Preserve Transparency. (If your image has no transparency, this option isn't available.)
Click OK to stroke the selection or layer.
Thanks Tony...is this for a border inside the print?...I understand using canvas in photshop for creating uter borders as you have done in m any of your prints , will have to try and run some searches...awesome images in your portfoilio
tallboke...yes,,, I understand layers very well just spent a fabulous day learning about adjustment layers and curves...I will fool around with those ideas.....must be easier, I will try to find someone here who has used on an image
Just select the area inside the shot using the marquee tool then follow the instructions by agwright to 'stroke' the marquee into an actual line or border.
Moodville...got to run...will try the M tool and then the stroke adjustment...was just trying to do with mask fills on three layers..way to hard will try later..thanks
