This is a guide on how to create images with small borders, this is a basic but very effective way to make your designs look that little bit better

The guide will be shown in a number of pictures with a picture picked out for effectiveness of a guide, the picture is this, it has been cropped down to save space


1 - First take your layer/image and place it where you want it
2 - Right click the layer you want to add a border and click 'Blending Options'
3 - Apply inner shadow (tick the box)
4 - Put the settings to (90 degrees angle) - (Distance = 0) - (Choke = 100)
5 - Click on 'Contours' in the Inner Shadow page and click on the one that says 'Cone' as seen on the picture
6 - Admire the sleek border you have just created :D

Yeah this border style is really simple to do I use it most of my designs takes me 15 seconds to do now I've done it so many times

Tip - You can also create a nice thick border with an overlay, track back to step 4 and play around with the blend mode…change the colour to white and even play around with the opacity ;)
