Adding Inner Borders to a Certificate

I'm making a 8.5x11 inch certificate using CS2.

I would like to add two borders about .5 in from the edge, one border inside the other. My guess is the outer border would be thicker than the inner border.

What is the easiest way to do this? Any suggestions as to proportions?

Thanks,

Dennis

Don't know about CS, but an 'old' way is to select the centre line of the border, then modify, border and set the width. Fill the 'new' selection and !!!

I would first select the colours I wanted for the borders - one foreground and one background, then I would go to Image - canvas size, increase , you can use pixels, cm, inches etc., or percent for this, choose foreground or background colour and O.K. Then do it again for the second colour - experiment with the sizes.

Build the border on a separate layer, then add a layer style to that layer.

Use the right tool for the job.

Photoshop is not the right tool for this. A page layout program like Adobe Indesign or QuarkXPress is.

You can do it in Photoshop, but it will be more difficult and more frustrating, and harder to change. In a page layout program, it's a five-second job.

That does not make a crisp line.

Better is just to make a rectangular selection and use Edit->Stroke.
