Martin is happy to report that Amazon has apparently fixed the issue with his bookвЂ™s title on their web store ( see this PSN item SNAFU? FUBAR? Either way itвЂ™s Wrong) and books are now being sold at Amazon as well as Barnes & Noble. Deliveries to other countries will take longer. The first print edition is out now and a shipment of books is already on its way to suppliers in the UK and US. The technique shown here was adapted from Martin EveningвЂ™s forthcoming book: Adobe Photoshop CS2 for Photographers, Focal Press. You can also create different types of borders by varying the feather amount and Levels adjustment. The border effect will vary a lot depending on the pixel dimensions of the image. Here is the final image showing the Background layer with the merged border layer set using the Multiply blend mode. I deselected the selection, merged the two newly added layers together and applied an extreme Levels adjustment to harden the edges of the border I had just created.ДЇigure 5. I then added another empty new layer and with the selection still active, filled the selection with black and set the blend mode to Multiply.ДЇigure 4. I then went to the Filter menu and chose Render > Clouds.ДЇigure 3. I then Reset the foreground/background colors so that Black was the foreground color and white the background color. In this example I created a 36 pixel border selection and feathered it by 6 pixels.Д¬lick on image to see larger sized image in a new window.ДЇigure 2. Next, I feathered the selection by a smaller percentage. I followed this with Select > Modify > Border and entered a pixel value that was large enough to create the border size I wanted. To begin with I opened an image, added an empty new layer above the Background layer and chose Select > All. This is a second application in difference mode.ДЇigure 1.

This is a normal application of the Clouds plug-in filter. Repeating the filter produces clouds based on the original colors and so onвЂ¦ although after each filtration the clouds will become more pronounced and more contrasty. Applying it once creates a cloud pattern based on the inverse color values. The Difference Clouds filter has a cumulative effect on the image. If you hold down the Option key (Mac) or Alt key (PC) whilst applying the Clouds filter, the effect is magnified.

The cloud pattern alters each time the filter is applied, so repeated filtering (Command/Control-F), for example, will produce a fresh cloudscape every time. These filters generate a cloud pattern that fills the whole image (or selected area) based on the foreground and background colors. But first letвЂ™s take a quick look at working with the Clouds filters. So the borders that are produced using this method will never be exactly the same for each image. The interesting thing about the Clouds filter is the randomness you get. This technique makes use of the Clouds filter. Or you can buy plug-ins for Photoshop that incorporate custom border designs.Д«ut in the following technique I am going to show you a fairly simple way to generate a random rough edged border within Photoshop.Д«efore and after using Martin EveningвЂ™s rough edged border technique. You can scan a border from one photographic image and merge it with another photograph as a layer. If you want to add a rough edged border to an image there are various ways you can do this.
