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 Color (=Foreground
color) or 2 White. 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!)
