Doing a clean 1 pixel border in Photochop -- HELp
 

I feel like a dumbass but I am trying to put a 1-2 pixel black border around a 480x77 rectangle.... I can do it but the method I'm using takes too long and doesn't appear 'perfect'..

whats the ez way to do this in photoshop?

I'm using 7.0 btw

:helpme :helpme

I'm no expert in photoshop for sure, but you can select all, then grow selection by 1 or 2 pix, then I think you do something with invert selection - all this if I remember correctly ;)

add a new layer and resize it by x pix, color it black... ok. That sounds like what I was looking for thanks. :)

Right-click layer > Blending Options > Stroke
- size: 1px
- position: inside

Select the rectangle layer, then go to layer styles - stroke - choose color and amount of pixels you want it to be.

Add new layer/controlA/Edit/Stroke.. that is all :upsidedow

good question whats the answer I would like to know :upsidedow

thats what I'm talking about..

thanks a bunch :) :)

I usually do it with the pen tool LOL but that's just me...

1 pixel pen + shift button.....

LOL I do the same thing.
