Best Shot Monday – 1/21/08 – Waiting for spring

January 21, 2008

It’s been bitter cold here the past week (the high is only in the teens today) and we all are dreaming of warmer days for playing outside, especially Julian.
My BSM:
Julian gazes out the window - 1/17/08

In the past I’ve had a few people inquire as to how I put the white frame around most of the photos I share online. A few months ago I said that I was going to type up step-by-step instructions and now I’ve finally done it. Sorry it took so long. It’s very simple once you know what to do. :)

How to frame your photos with a border in Photoshop:

  1. Open the image that you want to frame
  2. Go to Select > All (or Control A)
  3. Go to Edit > Stroke
  4. Choose the width of your stroke depending on how thick you want the border to be right next to your picture. I generally use 1 pixel. Then select the color. I use black. For location, use “inside.” For mode, I leave it at “normal.” And opacity, I leave at 100%. Click OK.
  5. Go to Image > Canvas size.
  6. This is where you adjust the width for how wide you want the border to be. You can play with it until you find the size you like best. I prefer to use the same proportions for the width and height, but that doesn’t mean you have to. Select what color you want the canvas extension to be. I usually use white. Click OK.
  7. Go to Select > All again.
  8. Repeat steps 3. and 4. Again, I usually use 1 pixel and black.
  9. Go to Select > Deselect.
  10. Resize image if you like.
  11. Save.
  12. That’s it. You’re done! :)
