Creating Borders with Filters and Masks

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.In the one sense this is an easy technique, but on the other, it is quite tricky although not advanced. So no excuses give it a go! and surprise yourself with some different filter based borders. Don’t forget that if you come up with a different option or two, then share it on our Flickr discussion group.
