Quick Photoshop Question(GOT IT, THANKS!)

[LordMaul]

Hey guys,

I am printing up a certificate of authenticity for a, ah, client of mine, and I need to put a border around it. Just two rectangles, NOT FILLED, that border the whole image. I can't just save it, go to Paint, and add one with the rectangle tool, as the image is huge and I would have to downsize it, etc...


How do I do this? The retangle tool in PS seems to only be SOLID, and won't let me border.


BTW< I'm using Photoshop 6.

Make a rectangular selection and then go to Edit and then Stroke. (hehehe..I said stroke...) Then select the amount of pixels and everything and there ya go.

Hmm...didn't work...


What do you mean, exactly? Do I make a rectangular shape, then click "Stroke" then whatever, or do I Just click the tool, then click Stroke, then whatever...or...what?

Basically, exactly what do you do?

select all.. right click and stroke it by a couple pixels, retract/contract/wahtever its called to shrink the selection.. then repeat.
