Fade Out Border

Creating a border that fades out is a great way to add spice to your photos. They can give a delicate touch when fading out to white and help give a contained feeling to your photo. This photoshop tutorial will walk you through the steps to creating a border for your photos that fades out to a solid color.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Open up an image in Photoshop.


2. Select the Eliptical Marquee tool.


3. Create a circular selection around the person or object in the photo.


4. Goto Select > Feather. When the Feather pop-up box appears, enter 20 as the pixel amount.

5. Goto Select > Inverse (or hold down Shift+Ctrl+I). The selection should now be reversed.

6. Create a new layer called "White Border".

7. With the "White Border" layer active, select the paint brush tool and fill in the selection with white. (You can use any other color besides white if you want to).
