Distorted Frames for PSE
Keywords: Create borders with masks, Vignette

 

1. On a white layer, create a box that will define your frame using the Rectangular Marquee Tool and fill it with black.

2. Remove bits and pieces using a soft-edge brush or Blur the frame using the Gaussian Blur.

3. Use one or more Distortion Filter until you get a look that you like.

4. Delete the White area and any extra bits that you don't like.

5. Paste your photo above the frame and group the two layers (CTRL+G).

 

 
Here's a few examples of what you can generate using this trick.
>Distort>Ocean Ripple
>Distort>Ripple
>Distort>Wave
>Pixelate>Color Halftone

>Sketch>Conté Crayon
>Sketch>Torn Edges
>Sketch>Water Paper
and many more...
