In this screencast I show you how to create image borders with layers, masks and filters for the effect. This is a bit of long one, so get the popcorn out and I am really sorry its not in 3D… 
Avatar’s a cool movie isn’t it? Anyway I digress, I show you 2 ways to work with a border and these are a little different to my usual border and edges that I do for the foto edge fx.
One question that I get asked more than most is “How can I make my white backgrounds white?” Well, where as most photographers are looking for a one click answer, I am sorry to say there isn’t one. But, this screencast comes pretty close as I delve into the world of the alpha channel mask by sneakily using image calculations, and the dodge and burn tools at 100%.
