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 :biggrin:

Wow who knew it was that easy.

I always did edit, fill and then set it to bevel and overlay.

Thanks for the tut, I found it useful and fast :smile:

Off topic, but what do you search to find images like this? I can never find them.

OT: Nice Tutorial!

You could always take the square Marquees Tool and go over the whole image and right click add stroke and set it 1 or 2. That also adds the same borders.
