This may seem like a noob question lol...how do I work with borders in Photoshop 7.0?

uhhhh selent the backround in the layers pattern... right click on it and select blending options... then add a stroke(usually a black or white stroke looks best)! then go into image> canvas size> selent pixels from the drop down menus> then make it 2 pixels bigger... and then magic happens and BOOOM theres is a border

hmm my background is locked....i can't select blending options.

duplicate it... then delete the old layer

uhh an easyer way is to make your sig then save it as .jpg then open the .jpg then select>all the edit>stroke then how big or small and color u want

Well, you guys are kinda right, and kinda wrong. Here's how I do it.

To make a regular pixel border:
Make a new layer on top of the background. Fill the whole thing with a solid color. Go to Layer > Blending Options. Turn the Fill Opacity to 0%, then go to Stroke. Pick the color and size you want, and set it to inside.

To make an overlay border:
Make a new layer. Go to Select > All, then Select > Modify > Border. Select half the size of the border you want. Then, use the paint bucket to fill in the border area with a color you want. Click it until the edge becomes solid. Then, change the blend mode to what you want, probably Multiply, Screen, or Overlay. If you want, you can add a stroke normally.

My way of makin a border is betterer than all of yours!!! evil: !!! and magnum... try and make a black border on ur sig... i tink it'll look better

I prefer the simple New raster layer, select all, contract 3, invert, fill.

3 can be substituted for what ever value you like, in pixels.
