(tutorial To) Add Borders..

How do u add a border at ur signature when its almost done.. I can't find it anywhere..

 

<span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS">What type of border do you want?</span>

 

hmm I think i'd just prefer a small line at the border.. so I'll take a small line

 

<span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS">I'm assuming you want something like this.</span>

 

idd but only if it is possible I'd like to have them at the vertical (left and right) sides too, is that possible? btw. plz post how that u do that

 

<span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS">1. Make a new layer, Ctrl+A, Edit>Stroke and leave the Width on 1 px.
2. Make a new layer, Ctrl+A, Select>Transform Selection, set the Height to 92% and click the check. Select>Inverse, Edit> Fill, fill it with black.
3. Make a new layer, Ctrl+A, Select>Transform Selection, set the Width to 92% and click the check. Select>Inverse, Edit> Fill, fill it with black.
4. Make a new layer, Ctrl+A, Edit>Stroke and set the Width to 3 px.</span>

 

wow thank u very much!

 

<span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS">No problem. ^_^ </span>

 

You can also try...

Hit Ctrl+A (or Edit > Select All)
Then go to Edit > Stroke
Then make it 2 pixels and the color you want it.

Then make a new layer and do the same thing but with only 1 pixel. Hold CTRL and then select that layer and go to the previous layer (the one with the 2 pixel border) and hit DELETE.

You can get rid of the layer you selected, then on the one you hit delete on, go to the layer styles and add a border.... You can even add a gradient overlay to give it a little customization.


I like to do that on my signatures to add a little more effect onto it... Not many do that. (At least I haven't seen it).

 

<span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS">Example?

@ SnAcK: You can also try "3 px borders" or "Selection Borders". They're kind of old and people don't really do them anymore but it might come back one day lol.

3 px border:





Selection border:







btw.....Those sigs are old as hell lol.</span>

 

can someone tell me how to make the rounded edges? like the one in my sig?
i forgot how to do them :/
(i made my sig like a year ago)

 

<span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS">Save the sig as a .png and open it in Photoshop. Double click it in the Layers Palette and click Ok, Ctrl+A, Select>Modify>Smooth, set the Sample Radius to 15 px and click Ok. Select>Inverse and press Delete on your keyboard. Save it as a .png.
