There are lots of different techniques for creating custom boarders for your photos using Photoshop. The one I’m going to show you today is creating by simply taking a photo of a piece of paper on a black (or dark) background.

There aren’t really any limits to what you can use to make your boarder just as long as it as a fairly solid centre (black or white).
