Hi! I sent this inquiry to the site council minutes ago but I wondered if you guys have an opinion on this or even a definitive answeré This would be of great help.
Hi! I want to add a border to a basic editing entry and I just want to make sure hte way I do it is legal. I first convert my background layer to a layer 0 then I create a new blank layer wich I colorize using an adjustment layer and vring it under my layer 0 (the image). I finally apply a white 1px wide border to my layer 0 using layer function (I don't know if it's the right term in english, my photoshop is in french) and flatten the image. This gives me a whatever color outside border and a white color inside border. Would this be legal and if not is there a way to achieve the same effect legally. Thanks |

Not sure about that tecnique, but this one is basic legal.... Choose the color you want for the first (inside) border, hit ctrl+a (select all), then edit, stroke, 1 pix - the color you chose. Then select the 2nd border (outside color) and do Edit, canvas size, 110% - color you choose).
A similar method is to use edit/stroke/1 pix/ then edit/stroke/4 pix and use 2 different colors (like white, and black)
edit typing error

| Nick, I suspect your method wouldn't be legal in basic as it works with layers beyond just adjustment layers. |

| Thanks BeeCee. I won't use it after all because of cindi's method. It's easier and gives the exact same results. |

If you want a total of 10 pixels of border all around (5 pixels each side):
1. resize image to 630 x whatever
2. select your two border colors as foreground and background colors in the color picker
3. go to image/canvas size and be sure you have selected "relative" and the center box in the diagram
4. choose foreground for color and 2 pixels as size, OK
5. back to image/canvas size, choose BG for color, 8 pixels as size, OK
You now have a 1-pixel keyline surrounded by a 4-pixel contain.

i use 'canvas size' to create borders ... so uniform canvas size of 10px black. pretty simple method.
that'd be legal i assume. right?

| Thanks Bear_Music, I needed to know how to do a simple border and came across this thread at exactly the right time. I got the best shot I have got so far over the weekend and have submitted it for free study 1. As I made it a certain tone I felt that a border was called for but didn't know how to do it until now. Thanks heaps! |
