In today’s Workbench, we’ll examine a method for creating a border from the same image that we’re bordering. Along the way, we’ll explore the following techniques:
- How to screen a photo.
- How to use a unique and underused Photoshop brush to carve an edge.
- How to add a stoke and drop shadow to the carved edge.
- How to blur a border.
- How to make the border black and white.
- How to radically change the color of the border.
- How to easily swap one border photo for another.
The creator of today’s image is unknown, which is too bad, because this is truly a compelling photograph.

What a great tutorial! You communicate very well, and enable me to feel like I can do it too! I have your DVD and look forward to what you have there. i am new here, but very encouraged! Just wanted to say, “great job” and thank you.

Mark, as usual another great tutorial. I have often wondered if you look at a photo and see the possibilities and creatively Photoshop it, or do you approach the Photoshoping of an image, beyond correction, in other ways?
