wow man thanks..impressive...ive been finding the whole day for a tutorial that can be easily understand..

[@bjurkowski]

Thanks for the great tip! By the way - if you merge the four layers that make up the border - THEN lower the opacity, you won't wind up with those dark squares in the corners where semi-opaque layers are "doubled up". Thanks again for the great tip - I love those "grunge" borders and will be trying this one soon!

It`s great how something so simple is so effective!

I love your videos. They're very easy to follow. THANKS.

Absolutely Amazing work Gavin! I love your tutorials and the only question I have about this particular one is... What if you wanted to paint those borders and then turn them into a brush that you could then use on another image... Perhaps even a signature that you could use on every photo, what process would you follow to achieve this?

[@DancesWithMonkeys]

love your tuts!I always learn something new! I had no idea overlay ignored grey! that makes life so much easier!=) thanks!

[@timtallisman]

awsome! might try it out once, only thing i didn't like was the border overlay in the left-bottom corner, but that is easy to fix. your awsome! :)

[@hemaatemypancake]

THANK YOU FOR THIS! I watched other videos and ran into problems but this video actually taught me how to overlay! (I should have read it properly because I thought it was going to be on how to create a border) BUT I can fix it! Thanks, you're a great professor. BTW this is my first creation in Photoshop :]

[@dariokland]

I've been waiting for the tutorial whole day long. Nice one Gavin!!!

[@iJonel]

wow i didn't know multiply does that. I use to use the magic wand and select the white and cut it

[@stylishvampire]

[@justpunjabi9889]

hi, great job like always. just a request, can you make tutorial about food photography?

[@munciephotography]

fantastic and helpful. I do not understand the purpose of the grey layer. (when I try it without maybe I will understand)

[@DavidNutter1963]

Outstanding....as usual!

[@frankmari]

Great job as always! Thanks for the tips.

[@itsbeiko]

that is just beautiful! i love those creative ideas that you have! just one question. did you take that photo? or is it just a painting?

[@GavinHoey]

Yes, Overlay ignores 50% grey. Any other grey will still have an effect.

[@CasRayDigital]

Great Job Once again !!!

[@DreamPinkClouds]

YOU are such a good teacher :) jus luv ur tutorialz :)

[@streamlinesofficial]

What would I do about the corners? I can see that where the two strokes overlay each other, it darkens and causes an obvious square in each corner.

[@yesicant]
