TIPS
Did You Know?
The size of the stroke that you apply to the borders
depends on the size and resolution of the image.
Important!
Selecting Inside for the stroke location in the Stroke
dialog box gives the stroke sharp corners. Selecting
Outside applies a stroke with rounded corners.
More Options!
Because each stroke border is on its own layer, you
can use different colors for the stroke for different
effects. If the photo is light in color, try using a shade
of gray to stroke the inner border rather than black, or
lower the opacity of the layer if the color of the stroke
appears too bold.
