For this tutorial, as for all of them, we are going to
make a lot of similar frames/borders, with the same
color/fill/pattern - using the same steps over again -,
so next time I'm only referring to 1 Black or 2 Color
(=Foreground color) or 5 Gold (=Magic Gradient Fill).
Just repeat the steps I'm explaining for the first
frame/border. (Always expand sides equally, and with the
pixels mentioned in
front of the color.)
To make it more easy to select a border, right
click/All, right click/Border and set the Pixels of the
border for the Border width, Direction: Inward, Shape:
Box. You can always use the Magic Wand Tool, but this
way it's more easy if you use similar colors for the
background and the border. (On the assumption that all
sides have been expanded equally!)

Open
the picture and choose a Foreground color (white hand).
I used for this picture 172/165/139. Go to Adjust/Expand
Canvas/Expand sides equally 1 pixel, Expand: Black.
Select the border, right click/Convert to Object, right
click/Shadow and use the 5. one with these
settings: 16/99/7.
Deselect.
Expand: 2 White. Go to Edit/Fill/ Gradient (red
arrow)/Magic Gradient (1). Choose Mode 4 (2), click the
Edit button (white arrow) and choose palette 008.
Selection/None.
1 Black. |

Expand: 5 Gold. Select the border and go to
Effect/Screen Works/Lace Screen.
Go to Web/Button Designer/Any Shape and use these
settings for the Basic (red arrow):
Light angle: 315
Light elevation: 35
Bevel size: 3
Bevel smoothness: 0
Choose the second bevel (1) under Bevel (white arrow).
Deselect. |
|
 |
Expand: 20 Foreground color, select the border and open
the lace tile (1) you want to use. Copy the tile (Ctrl+C),
activate the main picture (2). Go to Edit/Fill/Image
(red arrow), click the box for Clipboard (white arrow),
and the box for Tile the image. Set the Merge (white
hand) to Multiply.
Click OK and keep the border selected. |

1
Black + 2 Gold + 1 Black.
Expand: 28 Foreground color, select the border and go to
Effect/Greg's Factory Output Vol.II (red arrow)/Pool
Shadow (white arrow) and use these settings (1):
50/50/50/50/50/50/35/124.
Your screenshot might look different, since I'm using
Filters Unlimited 2 - but the settings are the same
anyway.
Click Apply and keep the border selected.
Go to Effect/ Bordermania/Frame #2: 28/28/31/22 + Notch
Corners.
Deselect.

Expand: 33 Foreground color, select the border and go to
Effect/Filters Unlimited 2.0/Paper Textures/Japanese
Paper: 135/87.
If
you don't have Filters Unlimited you can browse through
the Texture Filter from PI 8 to find similar texture.
(Paper03 inside the PAPER folder from PI 8).
Effect/Bordermania/Frame #2: 5/6/71/85 + Notch Corners.
Deselect.
2 Gold and then Merge All.
