Question on Border

Hey guys,
So it's been a while sense I've been using PS consistently. I'm trying to remember how I created the boarder around my current sig. I know I started with just a regular rectangular boarder and then used some command to open another file and it made it all cool lookin. I know this is a bad description but maybe someone will still be able to figure it out. <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... >/good.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'(Y)\' />

Well the style of the boarder is defintaly grunge, so you could start with a thick black boarder, maybe 3-5 pixels around your image and use the the eraser on various brush styles and "chip away" at the boarder to give it the cut up, messy look. Alternativley you could download yourself some grunge brush packs to make yourself the boarder, either way will work well. Or try both and post your results here and ask for some opinions. On another note, Mmmmmmm Tifa!

Hmmm. Yeah the manual "chip" technique works just as well as anything else. I guess I have no idea what exactly I did forever ago. The manual way gives me more control though so it's probably a better idea. Thanks <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... /smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />
As for Tifa, I totally agree <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... igwink.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\';)\' />
