im a BIG TIME noob when it comes to editing pics. i just want to learn how to add a quick border in photoshop and maybe lighten/clear some bright pics up.

i learn and catch on quickly so explain things to me once, i may have one or two questions to make sure then im set!

thanx in advance

 

Maybe this will help...




For the boarder...Go to Select>All.




Then to Modify>Boarder




Then put in the amount of pixels you want for the boarder. Usually use 6-8.




Then color the boarder in with a brush with the color of your choice. Its best to start a new layer befor you color.




For the Brightness,Contrast,Saturation...etc. Go to Image>Adjustments.



Hope that helps some... Sorry there so small. You should be able to make it out though.

 

Also you can go to Image>adjustments>canvas Size and add pixels all the way around without covering up any of the image.

Both ways work it is just personal choice and whether you can do the math in your head or not. : )

 

awesome thanks! you should sticky this lol

 

good info, how do you make a water mark?

 

You can also do a border this way..

- Ctrl + A (to select all)

- Select > Modify > Border > Chose Pixels > Select Pixels

- Edit > Fill

- Under the use drop down menu, choose color.

- Choose the color you want.

- Under the mode drop down menu, choose the mode you want.

 

I would just type what you want the mark to be, and then change the opacity.

 

or you can just hit ctrl+a and then go to edit>stroke>3-4 pixels black, then hit ok or done.


border done.
