your hard drive.   Okay let's get started.

Click on the image to make it active, then choose

mask.

 Next choose Masks/Invert, then Masks/Delete

pixels to the width and height.

Choose Layer/New Raster Layer, then

Layers/Arrange/Send to Bottom.

Flood fill the new layer using the bucket tool  

Flood fill with the color white using the following

settings.

Click on the mask layer and choose Effects/

settings. Next choose Layers/Merge/Merge All.

Now choose Image/Add Border and add

an 8 pixel white border.

Next choose Image/Add Border and add

a 2 pixel black border. Then choose Image/

Add Border and add a 2 pixel white border.

Using the magic wand with the following

settings, select the white border.

Now choose Effects/Plug-in Filters/

Flaming Pear/Blade Pro and apply a

preset of your choice.

 Now choose Effects/Sharpen. Selections/Select None.
