Quick Trick : Halftone Pattern Photo Border
In this Photoshop tutorial, we’ll learn how to create a fun and simple halftone pattern photo border using a couple of Photoshop’s filters, a basic selection tool, a layer mask, and a layer blend mode. We’ll be using Smart Filters to create the effect, which will allow us to easily make changes to the photo border after we’ve created it without having to undo or redo any steps. Smart Filters were first introduced in Photoshop CS3, which means you’ll need at least Photoshop CS3 if you want the added benefits that Smart Filters offer (I’ll be using Photoshop CS4 myself), but this effect can be created with any version of Photoshop, including Photoshop Elements, so don’t lose hope just because you don’t have CS3 or CS4. If you’re using Photoshop CS2 or earlier, or Photoshop Elements, simply ignore the few steps that deal specifically with Smart Filters and apply regular filters to the layer as you normally would. The only thing you’ll be missing out on is the added flexibility and editability that Smart Filters give us.
