Faded Squares Frame

These frames are by far the easiest frames you will ever make.
No outside plugins are needed at all. Let's get started !!


First open up a new image 300x300 transparant. Selections/select all.
Now go to Effects/3D/Buttonize using these settings.



You now have a single frame made!!!

For more frames inside this frames, add a new layer, (You will still have
your "Marching Ants" going around your previous frame) then go to
Selections/Modify/Contract and use these settings.



You now have your "marching ants" 25 pixels in from you last frame.
Repeat the buttonizing step and you have a frame with two faded frames.

Continue on in this manner for as many faded frames and you wish to make,
make sure you put each new frame on a separate layer. This will be handy
when you want to use the frame in a 2 or 3..you can copy the graphic, close
the original and close the layers that you don't want to use. You may
want to make them further apart or closer together. Just adjust the
number of pixels on the contract screen. Above I have made a frame with
one, two and three inner frames. Here is a pretty rose using the double
inner frame.




Hope you enjoyed this tutorial and have fun!!
