Photoshop Tutorial No. 002



A Rippled Edged Print


Sometimes it's nice to vary the edge of the photo to provide variety from the normal straight and hard edges. Here is a very simple method to make an interesting edge effect, quickly and reliably:

1. Open Image and using the Rectangular Marquee tool, draw a rectangular selection which leaves just a thin border outside the selection.

2. Click on the Quick Mask Icon in the toolbox (Keyboard Shortcut-"Q")

3. Go to Filter...Brush Strokes...Spatter (As alternatives, try experimenting with, Filter...Distort...Glass, or Ocean Ripple) Choose any settings which please

4. Return to Standard Editing Mode KKeyboard Shortcut-"Q"

5. Select... Inverse

6. Press the Delete Key

7. Select...Deselect

8. Save or Save As.
