Frame or the frame is a frame border to decorate a photo. This frame serves to make the photo look more artistic and attractive. Basically, with Photoshop you can make photo frames in various shapes such as ellipse, circle, triangle, or parallelogram. However, here I will show step by step how to create a frame with a rectangular basic shape as a form commonly used. These steps can also be used to create a frame with the basic forms of the other.
Here are the steps:
1. Open the file that will be assigned a buddy photo frame with Photoshop. As an example we will use my photo taken from www.flickr.com. The original size of pictures has a height of 2048 pixels wide by 1536 pixels. We will first reduce the size of the photo is a 300px X 400px with the Crop Tool.
2. After the photo was reduced in size, on the Layers palette create a new layer by clicking the icon "Create a new layer" at the bottom of the Layers Palette and name the layer with the frame 1
3. Give the color of the layer with the value (463E3E) or with other colors that my friend liked. To give color to the layer, set foreground color in the Toolbox with the color we want (in this example I use color (463E3E), select the layer frame 1 and then press Alt + Delete on the keyboard.
4. Next make a selection with Rectangular Marquee Tool. In the Options bar select Fixed Size with a value of 240px X 340px. Position the selection that we make it right in the middle of the picture. Consider the following picture!
Press Delete on the keyboard to remove the parts that have been selected, then press Ctrl + D to remove the selection.
5. Select frame 1 layer on the Layers Palette and Duplicate the layer by pressing Ctrl + J. Name the layer with the frame 2. Now on the Layers Palette, there are three layers: background, frame 1 and frame 2.
6. Select frame 1 layer and press Ctrl + T to minimize its size. On the Options Bar, enter the value of 92% for the width (Weight) and height (Height). Due to the size of the percentage of the width and height are given the same, click the icon shaped simply type the value chain and 92% in one Weight or Height text box.
Finish by pressing Enter.
7. Perform selection on the layer 1 frame by clicking on the layer while holding down the Ctrl key. Give the color white (FFFFFF) for the layer 1 frame (see point 3 above!).
At this stage, we actually have obtained a perfect frame. But we can decorate the frame even further by using the effects provided by Photoshop. To make the frame look more real we are, for example, can use the effect Drop Shadow or Bevel and Emboss.
8. Here I will give the effect of noise to decorate the frame layer 2 with the settings as below. The trick, click the Filter menu - Noise - Add Noise.
Once given the effects of noise, we get the final result is as follows.
The result is tolerable for a beginner like me, for those who want to try please ............
Hopefully useful ......... Good luck ....!
