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

Thanks, very nice tutorial. And just fyi, if you put the distance on 0 the angle if the inner shadow doesn't matter.
