I tried the tutorials and I liked Wendy's best Open 8x10 in 300 resolution with transparent background (resolution is important because it affects the number you use on Crystallize) Rectangular Marquee - draw selection near the edge Fill selection with color, turn off selection (control d) Add layer mask - make sure you are on the layer mask Filter> Pixelate> Crystallize 35 Simplify layer You now have a rectangle with deckle edge. Save as png To make this into a frame, draw a selection inside your solid rectangle, hit delete, Control D to Deselect Save as png It's important to save your paper or frame as a png, so it retains transparency around it.
You can then move this frame/paper onto any project.
You can easily resize it, recolor it, and move it. |

I just noticed that the layer with the frame has Pass Through in the box where the blend modes are selected; no idea what that means.
Pass Through is a Photoshop layer blending mode; it is the default blending mode for Layer Groups, a Photoshop feature. You can read an explanation of how this blending mode works (with a screen shot) in . . . Explained: Pass Through blending mode.
This is how I understand why this blending mode is showing up when you apply a frame from the Graphics/Content panel. (I may be wrong though and someone, please, correct me if I am).
The frame and your image will behave as if they were a Layer Group. For example, if you apply a Levels adjustment or a Hue/Saturation adjustment, the effect will be applied to both the frame and your image (just like in a Layer Group). This blending mode is behaving the way it is described in the link above.

I never noticed the Pass Through blending mode option. Thanks for bringing it to attention. Must look further into that. |
