Creating a Border using the Bristle brushes
In this next section, you use a bristle brush to create an artistic border around the edge of the image.
1
Select the Round Blunt Medium Stiff bristle brush from the Brush Presets panel.

Choose any color that you want to use for the border you are about to create. In this example, we use the
default black.

Press and hold the Shift key and click in the lower-left corner. By Shift+clicking, you have instructed
Photoshop that you want a stroke to connect from the initial click to the next.

Shift+click in the lower-right corner, and then continue this process until you return to your original
stroke origin in the upper-left corner.

Applying color to an image
You can color anything realistically in Photoshop by using different opacity levels and blending modes. In
this part of the lesson, you'll take a grayscale image and tint it with color. Understand that you can also
paint color images to change the color of an object, like clothing for a catalog, or just to add interesting
tints for mood and effect.
