How to Create Photo Border in Photoshop - Simple way

Today I am going to teach you on how to create a photo border in photoshop.The method  that I am going to introduce to you is one of the quickest way to create  photo border in photoshop. This is just a simple step to follow so bear with me.

Here are the steps:
1. Open image in that you are going to add border in photoshop (I am using CS4, but I guess this will work also in CS2 and other photoshop version). I am using here my own image to avoid copyright claims when using pictures found in the internet.

2. In photoshop, click on window menu then layers to view layers.If if is active already you will see this image on the right side of your photoshop window.

 

3. As you can see in the image above there is a portion which is highlighted in blue color, that is the layer. What you are going to do is to right click on that portion and a pop up window will appear. In that pop up window click duplicate layer. Now it should look like this just ignore the numbers in red font it just included there for step number 4.

4.Now we already have two layers, layer 0 which is marked "1". and background copy which is marked "2". Click on the duplicate layer, duplicate layer should be on top of the original layer. Do not drag it down or else you could not see your border. Refer to the image below, if your layer palette looks like that then lets proceed to step 5.

5. After clicking on the duplicate layer making it active. Click on Layer Menu then Layer Style and Select Blending Option.

A pop up window like this will appear right after clicking.

6. Now double click on stroke option and apply this settings. Set size to 7,  position to inside, blend mode to normal, fill type to gradient and style to shape burst.Click OK and there you are, you already have a photo with a simple but a cool border.

Note: Changing values of those fields with arrows may give you varied results, try exploring when you got some free time. For now focus or review on steps how can you make this formal and elegant border. Drop by to this blog always to get some updates from me. Till next time.

How to Disable/Enable LAN through Command Prompt

This trick was first introduced to me by a friend  Kevin. This is just a simple trick but is really useful especially when you want to save time.This is for WINDOWS and will work only if you are in the user account with restrictions or with limited access to the system, meaning when you could not simply go to My Network Places and right click Local Area Network and Disable/Enable.

To do this, all you have to do is Go to Command Prompt and then type the following codes.

C:\> runas  /user:username "net stop DHCP"

Example if the administrator account is administrator

C:> runas /user:administrator "net stop DHCP"
then hit enter and it will prompt password for your administrator account.

When you want to enable it again, perhaps when you are done testing something. All you have to do is to replace "Stop" with "Start"

Example
C:>runas /user:administrator "net start DHCP".


This trick will surely save your time. When you are testing something, especially connectivity related trouble you can just use this instead of logging off and log in administrator account. Tested and working in xp and windows 7.

Avast Personal Review

Of all antivirus that I have tried using for a couple of years, only avast antivirus satisfy me. It is a  lightweight AV program, provides easy and fast installation, user friendly, faster detection of potential threats and it doesn't block any applications that you are trying to run or install, unless it contains threats that may harm your pc. Such applications with some risk included usually can be downloaded from free download site and  torrent site. We must  be aware of free downloads of full versions of a certain application in a torrent site. Some viruses could be inserted or pack up with the installer itself, located in the folder especially if it is compressed or in a ISO or image format or it could be in the key generator application that contains they key to unlock the application to make it a full version. Do not download such applications, it's piracy also and against the law.

Now back to my avast personal review. Avast has special features that is not present in some commonly used antivirus and it is "boot time scan". I've never seen this feature in other AV programs. This function will allow us to restart the system and scan the whole drive while the pc is on it's booting time. That way,  infections that is dominant already in the system especially infections in c:\windows or c:\windows\system32 will be deleted or quarantined. The difference between scanning in booting time and scanning when we are log in to windows is that some threats could not be removed when pc is operational since it could be detected also as system file and deleting it or moving to quarantine is not available. That's the main purpose of boot time scan.

This review is for windows only, I am not used to other operating systems.
