Advanced Borders (Lasso)
Much love and thanks to anifanatical at M7 for making this tutorial!
One thing to keep in mind is whether or not your group has anti-aliased borders. M7 works on full-size raws and then resizes, so the borders become anti-aliased. TMI works on resized raws, so the borders are NOT anti-aliased.
As always, create a new layer for your borders!!
If your group does not use anti-aliased borders, make sure you hold down SHIFT so that the horizontal and vertical lines are perfectly straight!

Also, be sure that your border is straight and does not have visible “steps” in the line. Borders must appear completely straight!
If a panel goes right to the edge of the page, that side does NOT get a border. When using the Lasso on panels like this, make sure you don’t get any border on those sides!
Hi!
Nice tutorial! thank you very much…
it helped a LOT!!!
If i may say, i noticed through trial a better way to do it…
Since many times the old borders remain, and erasing them may leave unwanted white gaps,
i though of:
create two NEW layers.
at the first :
1. using guides and polygonal lasso
select the inner edge of the border
2. stroke OUTSIDE it 11 pixels of white
and then immediately stroke OUTSIDE 7 pixels (desired border pixels minus 1) of black. (this will leave a 4 pixels gap to work in)
3. clear guides and deselect
on the second layer :
1. using guides and lasso select the outer edge of the borders you just draw (it will have crappy corners)
2.stroke INSIDE the selection 8 pixels of black
delete the border layer with crappy corners and there you are!!!
