How do you stop the border being right at the edge and put it in a few pixels?

You can find infomation on that here

Thanks...I knew there was an easy way to do this.

nice tutorial, what more can I say? :P

Nice I'll use this for my new sig.

not knocking your tut, but you can just select the layer copy it, make new layer, paste it, go to edit>stroke, set colour to whatever you want select 1px and make sure the blending bit is set to normal and 100% opacity... so much quicker tbh.

Nice tutorial tacoX, of youser there is other ways to ^^;
For example you could just create a new layer. Press CTRL + A (select all)
and then rightclick on the signature and choose stroke.
Then just press ok and you got a stroke (you can also change the settings in that window to get different results) ^^;

lol

i dont see the diff between the original and the other one

all good... you could also zoom in and draw a 4 lines while holding the shift button... simple and fast :)

Woah, scrootrose, your from d2jsp haha.

yeah basic tut, you can also do -
new layer, select all, right click, stroke, 1px black.
