Creating a simple frame for your pictures in Photoshop
Have you wonder how to create a nice looking little frame for your pictures in Photoshop while making some nice wallpapers? It’s definitely easy and will help photographers that would like to spruce up their picture collections.
First open the Photoshop and load your picture. Resize it however it fits you and create a new document for your wallpaper, let’s say 800×600 px. Then convert the background to the layer using right click menu in the layer panel. Select the whole picture you’ve opened before (Ctrl+A) and copy it to the new document.
Place it in the relevant place and create a rectangular shape beneath it, which would be around 5-10px bigger than the original picture. Now go to blending options and follow this guide:
Drop shadow:
- Opacity: 30%;
- Distance: 0px;
- Spread: 0%;
- Size: 5px;
Stroke:
- Opacity: 10%;
- Width: 1px;
- Colour: black (#000000);
- Position: Outside;
Hope this helps!
