I'm making a Sig for another forum,and all I have left is to put a frame/border around it,and I can't figure out how.
Any help would be great.



Thanks in advance.

Here's the sig I'm working on.

Is this going to be an avatar or is it going to stay the same size? What exactly are you going to use the picture for? What color do you want the border to be?
 
Here is my start on your picture -

I can make the border thicker or a different color. I can also resize the picture if you want. I did this by enlarging the canvas and then filling it in with color. You picture is on indexed color so you need to switch it to RGB color first.

Thanks for the help. I'm going to go with a dark red frame,but I can take it from here,and this is a Sig fro a horror movie forum.
 
Here's the finished result. If there is anything I could do to improve it I'm open for suggestions,but just tell me what to do. I really want to learn Photoshop on my own. :)

Oh, sorry I edited it then. I described how I did it though in the same post. If you were creating a red border you shold have created space around the image and filled it in with red. On you final you can't really see a red border. You might need a little wider border.
 
Sorry no offense that sig isn't reallt good quality but anyway back to borders

Ctrl+A(selects all)>Select>Modify>Border>2Pixels>Ctrl+A>Ctrl+I>ctrl+I(must do a second time)
