Tutorials

Outlined Pictures
In order to obtain an outline on your pictures, use the magic wand to select the baby, then go to selection -> modify -> invert. then go to selection -> modify -> expand. I usually do 2-3 pixels. ctrl + x to cut the baby out, fill in the selection with the color you want the border, and then paste the baby back into it!
Or, you can paste the picture of your baby that you want outlined into a fresh file, which has been filled in with the colour you want the border. Then, using the magic wand tool Kelley explained in the above, highlight & invert it, then expand it, then copy and paste that baby into another new selection! This trick works with whole banners too - you can even do multiple colours, by copying & pasting a few more times, repeating the first steps over!
