To create a border like this one (above), you first need to open up your image and select the 'Rectangular Marquee Tool' from the left hand tool bar.
After doing this you need to select quick mask mode and then 'invert' the image so it selects the outside of the selection and not the inside. to do so you need to click on:
Select --> Inverse
After doing this you now need to select:
Filter --> Distort --> Ocean Ripple
You will then be taken to a new window in which you can adjust the settings on how big you want the ripple to be and how many ripples you have:
Once you are happy with the adjustments select Ok and photoshop will adjust accourdingly. Quick mask mode needs to be deselected and as we have had problems delecting the selected area, the earaser tool needs to be selected from the left hand tool bar and the selected area erased.
Once you have erased the area you need to deselect the area. To do so click on:
Select --> Deselect
and you'll be left with your final image.
