Great tip for creating borders by Mr. Dave Cross.
Very nice tip. One thing I would like to add though; when using this on a photo. Minimum does some pretty weird stuff to photos but if you change the blend mode of the filter to lighten, the effect disappears, and you’ll still have extra space outside the original photo to add the border.
I tried making the bland mode to lighten but everything goes white… :S
I wondered why you demonstrated with a content free square on white layer, then I tried this technique with a slanted ‘call out’ rectangle — imitating one of the cool effects you showed on Photoshop User TV on a wedding photo some years ago, and found out.
Thanks for the continuing great learning experience!
I had got a dream to make my own commerce, nevertheless I didn’t earn enough amount of cash to do it. Thank heaven my close colleague advised to use the business loans. Thence I received the short term loan and made real my old dream.
clever technique, but if the shape is anything other than a flat color, the minimum filter applies effects to the pixels on that layer.
This really isn’t a suitable solution if you have anything on that layer that isn’t a flat color. That minimum filter wrecks any photo content you have on that layer.
