Super Quick Grunge Border in Photoshop

[@global001]

Excellent as always Gavin. Saw this video over a year ago & just used it now. Created an action so only have to do once! I don't know how you come up with this stuff. Amazing.

[@ImBadVeryBad]

learning with gavin is super easy I understand his tutorials completely

[@AXNJXN1]

Thanks Gavin! Super easy and tightly explained with brevity... Keep em coming. Gonna have to try this on a few different colored backgrounds.

[@global001]

Brilliant! Thanks for this Gavin. You're really good at presenting. So refreshing!

[@geoffreycstevenson226]

Looking for you for ages Gavin found some grunge borders from your old photo mags forgot how to use them the mags got thrown away I even forgot they were called grunge borders thanx happy now

[@tirathmistry]

Excellent tutorial Thanks so much Gavin you make Photoshop more Interesting & Enjoyable Your tutorials are one of the Best tutorials on youtube keep up good work God bless you :-)

[@Starkavious]

I would have added a layer mask and soft brushed away some of the top image around the sides to have it blend well with the grunge border. but this is a very awesome technique! Thank you!

[@euphoricmohnish]

This was a pretty handy tutorial. Never seen anyone do this. The results are Great. Thanks a lot Gavin! :)

[@TheSmartWoodshop]

Gavin, can you do a video on creating a "Frame" than can be saved as an action and applied to any photo. The purpose would be to create a personal style to apply to all of one photos for publishing. I would like to take my choice photos and then after editing and apply effects, I would like to run an action to apply the same frame with my name to all of my photos so that my work would carry the consistent frame regardless of photo orientation or size. Thanks for all of your great videos. Ron

Another good method is to select a slightly smaller rectangle on a white layer and fill with black. It is underneath the hidden image you seek to grunge. Go to filter gallery, the spatter filter. Transform and move the four underlying grunge edges to bleed out just beyond the image layer image positioned at the very top. The third very bottom white layer with over-sized canvas dimension, the grunge layer and the image layer will be cropped down to correct size. The white bottom layer will constitute the outer white border of the final stamped image. It appears to be a difficult procedure but in time it’s a quick and easy three layer process to master.

Fantastic job Gavin. Big fan... big big big fan of yours.

[@LillyEster19]

Man, this was exactly what I wanted. Thank you so much.

[@VT808]

Defiantly like. I have one question. What's the purpose of adding a border style? Pictures printed are usually framed with a border aren't they? How do you these pictures with border styles you create in photoshop.

[@creepygirl2008]

Awesome tutorial!!! I hope to see another one soon.

[@natro42]

Interesting technique, I would've used "grunge-brushes" to get a simlilar effect, but this is way better. Thanks for sharing :)

[@barnesnet]

Great stuff Gavin, another perfect tutorial.

[@peterpan01973]

Another great video,thanks gavin.

[@totylow]

I was looking for this since EVER!!! thx gavin! You´re genius!

[@brucejohn14]

awesome tutorial Gavin

[@bhatiaanant]

@arsenalfan2000 fair. I will try it out. No better way of learning. Thanks

[@bhatiaanant]

I don't get the point of adding the fibre layer and the cloud layer. How did these two help here? The grunge was created by the last layer as a frame whereas the top layer remained virtually untouched except for the border. What role did the middle two layers play?

[@Moviesmurfen]

A really great tutorial as alway! Thank you! You´re the best!

[@LilleCorazon]

Thanks for a very good tutorial!!!!!!!! I`m just frustrated, because in the end..I just get a few dots...and in the color of the photo..and I don`t know what I did wrong. Do you have a clue what I did wrong? I followed each step...carefully...but, I must have done smt wrong...

[@Glass112]

Great tutorial as always.

[@j2cool2]

I'm kinda stuck at 1:30, the option to change the canvas color is grayed out in canvas size popup window. Any idea what would cause this or how I could trouble shoot it to figure out what has cause the option to not be available? Thanks Great video by-the-way.

[@EdwardBooth0843]

I'm having the same problem. Using CS6 Photoshop, I just get a little bit of grunge outside and then as I increase the range on the gaussin blur it spatters some of the photo color. Trying to add more grunge with the brush doesn't work at all. I've tried twice with 2 different images. What am I doing wrong?

[@PhilipVernon]

@bhatiaanant why dont you follow along, then hide each layer that you think does nothing. you will soon see exactly what they do, it will be easier than trying to explain it.

[@Loonalf]

Brilliant tutorial, thank you very much Gavin! Greetings from Denmark :-)

[@Gohan4411]

[@frankytap]

[@newcoyote]

@crpaulk I second that request.

[@mphomulaudzi079gp]

so useful tnx gav..

[@ag4coupons]

thanks for tut Gavin, named my firstborn Gaven, love the name.

[@bhatiaanant]

@1NSTYL not very clear..

[@CineSolutions]

But what if I don't want that white border, but instead want a clear alpha channel?

[@mrRapkis]

@crpaulk I would like this too

[@Stepy_G]

No grunge at all. When I increase the blur nothing happens. The Filter>Render>Fibers only have a greater opacity and nothing else happens. Nothing.

[@BeeeHonest]

Lovely

[@useless4rt]

very helpfull

[@tastetherainbow4321]

5:29 if its gone a little bit hard somewhere u can always switch 2 white and push it bak in LOL

[@franknsigns1211]

cool thank you

[@newcoyote]

@frankytap IceflowStudios does a very good tutorial on that here on YT titled Photoshop "Dragan Effect".Search that. I got good results using his tips. I wish Gavin could do one too. His are about the easiest and clearest to follow.
