Creating a Grungy Frame in Photoshop

To create that grungy frame that is so popular now around pictures, you can do this:

1. Open your image.
2. Create a New Layer by clicking on the Create New Layer icon (the one that is next to the Trash Can in the Layers Palette).
3. Set your Foreground color to white.
4. Select your Brush tool and choose an irregular brush (like Spatter).
5. Start painting with this Brush around your picture, just one click at the time. You can change the size of the brush and the Transparency if you prefer.
6. At this point, you may want to add Text, also using White as Foreground.
