Default how to make a border around a bookmark (for books)

Hi Everyone!

Could someone tell me how to quickly make a border around the bookmarks I'm making for my students. They are about 3 in. wide and 6 in tall.

What I've been doing is selecting all then modifying border by about 35 pixels then paint bucket with color.

The all look kind of out-of-focus this way though. How can I make a sharp border?
thanks!!!

Kim

Hiya Kim.

Make sure that 'Feather' is set to zero in the Option palette for the Marquee tool. This is where you are getting the fuzziness from.

Select All, then hold down the Option key. This allows you to subtract from the original selection. Click and drag inside the original selection to leave the thickness of the border you require. Edit > Fill, or use the Bucket tool.

You can also inset the selection from the edge of the bookmark and 'Stroke' a line using the foreground colour.

There are loads of variations on this, but start off with what you are doing and then build up your knowledge as you gain experience.

If / when you need more info, just ask.

Al

Yeah the stroke would be the best way to go on that(right click layer--blending options). Make sure to copy the layer, or unlock it, and make sure it is an inner stroke.
