One Photo Many Techniques (Part 3)
1. Create a shape on a new layer. Use the selection tools and fill in the selection with black or use the crop tool. Use your imagination and create a unique shape.
2. Hold down the control key and click on the layer of the shape in the layers palette. Do you see marching ants? With the background layer as the active layer, hit Control J to cut the shape out of the background. Having trouble? Click here.
3. Hold down the control key and click on the new layer that is cut out of the background. Do you see marching ants?
4. Go to the Select drop down menu, then choose Modify, and then Contract. In the popup box, type in a number. 100 is the highest number. if this does not make your frame wide enough, run the contract tool again. if 100 makes your frame too wide, hit the back button and test another number.
5. Hit the delete key to knock out the center of the shape, leaving a frame.
6. Add a stroke (border). In the stroke popup box, choose a width (I used 20), a color (sometimes color does not matter, but I used the eyedropper to get a color from the background), Location: Inside, and choose a blending mode (I used overlay and color burn on my samples)
