Layer Adjustments
|
To make final adjustment to your images try using Layer Adjustments. On our layer palette click on the black arrow in the top corner and from the drop down menu select New Adjustment Layer this will open our layer adjustment palette. This will add our adjustment as a new layer. The big advantage to this is that we can go back into this adjustment and change its values at any time even after saving our image as a PSD file. |

Increase
border size using cropping tool

For Photoshop 5.5 users you can use the cropping tool to increase the size of your border.. First set the background colour for your border. Select the cropping tool from your tool box (short cut C on your keyboard) and drag it over your image; now pull your handles out to the size you require then click 'crop'. The border will then appear around your image. |
