Transparent Border
This tutorial will show you how to create your own transparent border for your sigs and other graphics.
Step One
Have your design open that you wish to use for the transparent border, and create a new layer.
Ctrl + Shift + N, or by pressing the new layer button:
Step Two
Use the pencil tool to create the border around the image (hold shift to create straight lines)
Note: It doesn't matter what color the pencil is, but the size obviously determines the final border.
Step Three
You now need to take down the Fill to 0%
Note: The border will become invisible to you for now, but it is still there!
Step Four
Go to: Blending Options > bevel and Emboss, you can then play around with the settings to make your own unique effect.
If you're unsure about the blending options you can use these one's for guidance:
Click OK, and you're done!
