Photoshop Workshop - Borders - Blur

To create a blurry border as shown above you first need to open up your image and select the 'Rectangular Marquee Tool'.

And then Invert so it selects the outside of the selection rather than the inside. To do this click on:

Select --> Inverse

After you have done this you need to now select the gaussian blur filter. To do this select:

Filter --> Blur --> Gaussian Blur

You will then be presented with a window in which you can adjust the amount of blur you want. once you are happy click ok and photoshop will adjust accourdingly.

All that is left to do is deselect and save your final image.
