A stylish outline to a card/photo  (see sample here)

1. After you have finished editing your image as you need or after creating a visiting card, create a new layer at the top of the layers palette.

2. Select the marquee tool(rectangle or circle as you like). Give feather between 10 & 20. Draw a marquee around your photo/card.

3. Got to Edit-Stroke.For the number of pixels put in a value between 2 & 4.For location try out centre ( I personally feel it looks best-try out other options). Remember to uncheck the preseve transparency option.For blending mode, experiment with various combinations of opacity & blending modes,to get interesting results.

Remember, outlines give a very professional look to visiting cars especially.
