thats the hard way lol

[Chaos]

[ElementFX]

well I know a easier way!

[MixinDJ]

LOL... That is some crazy BS. Easy as hell, yet wasting time.

Dudes... Watch this. Only takes 4 steps, and gives you the same result.

1: On any image make a new layer.
2: with the new layer selected go to select> select all, then go to Edit> Stroke.
- Settings:
Color: FFFFFF (white)
Width 2px
Location: Inside
(leave everything else alone)

3: Go to edit stroke again, but this time make the color black (000000) and the width 1px.
4: now go to Layer> Layer Style> Stroke, and again make the color black and the size 1.

Done.

Now wasn't that easier?

(BTW, no one claim this as your own. I've been doing this for awhile and I discovered this on my own so after reading this you now know its mine. :P)
