The extra space will become the border. And since we'll want the size of the border to be the same on all four sides, the best way to do it is with Photoshop's Canvas Size command.<\/p>\n<p>Go up to the <strong>Image<\/strong> menu in the Menu Bar and choose <strong>Canvas Size<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/2021\/drop-shadow-photo-border\/image-canvas-size.png\" alt=\"Choosing the Canvas Size command from Photoshop's Image menu\" width=\"269\" height=\"91\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Going to Image &gt; Canvas Size.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 6: Increase the width and height of the canvas<\/h3>\n<p>In the Canvas Size dialog box, click the <strong>Relative<\/strong> option. This tells Photoshop to start with the current canvas size, and the values we enter for the Width and Height will be added to it.<\/p>\n<p>In the <strong>Anchor<\/strong> grid, make sure the <strong>center box<\/strong> is selected so that the extra space will be added evenly on the top, bottom, left and right:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/2021\/drop-shadow-photo-border\/canvas-size-relative-anchor-grid.png\" alt=\"Selecting the Relative option and the center Anchor box in Photoshop's Canva Size dialog box\" width=\"436\" height=\"243\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Selecting the Relative option and the center Anchor box.<\/div>\n<p>Then enter a size for the border into the <strong>Width<\/strong> and <strong>Height<\/strong> fields. But keep in mind that the values you enter will be divided equally between two sides. So for example, entering 2 inches for the Width will result in a 1 inch border on the left and right of the photo. And entering 2 inches for the Height will give you a 1 inch border on the top and bottom.<\/p>\n<p>For my image, a 1 inch border will be a bit too wide. A 3\/4 inch border will look better. So to add a 3\/4 inch border on the left and right of the photo, I need to set the <strong>Width<\/strong> to twice that amount, which is <strong>1.5 inches<\/strong>. And to keep the border the same size all around, I'll set the <strong>Height<\/strong> to <strong>1.5 inches<\/strong> as well.<\/p>\n<p>Click OK when you're done to close the Canvas Size dialog box:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/2021\/drop-shadow-photo-border\/new-canvas-size-width-height.png\" alt=\"Entering a size for the photo border into the Width and Height fields of the Canvas Size dialog box\" width=\"436\" height=\"210\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Selecting the Relative option and the center Anchor box.<\/div>\n<p>Photoshop adds the extra canvas space around the image, creating our photo border. Even though the extra space is actually transparent, it appears white because the Solid Color fill layer below the image is showing through:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/2021\/drop-shadow-photo-border\/initial-photo-border-created.jpg\" alt=\"The photo border appears after adding the canvas space in Photoshop\" width=\"803\" height=\"441\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The photo border appears after adding the canvas space.<\/div>\n<h4>How to fit the photo border on the screen<\/h4>\n<p>If the border is too big to fit on your screen, go up to the <strong>View<\/strong> menu in the Menu Bar and choose <strong>Fit on Screen<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/2021\/drop-shadow-photo-border\/fit-on-screen-command.png\" alt=\"Selecting the Fit on Screen command from Photoshop's View menu\" width=\"322\" height=\"108\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Going to View &gt; Fit on Screen.<\/div>\n<h4>How to change the border size<\/h4>\n<p>The downside to Photoshop's Canvas Size command is that there's no way to preview the new size before accepting it. So if the border is too wide or too narrow, go up to the <strong>Edit<\/strong> menu and choose <strong>Undo Canvas Size<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/2021\/drop-shadow-photo-border\/undo-canvas-size.png\" alt=\"Selecting the Undo Canvas Size command from Photoshop's Edit menu\" width=\"321\" height=\"97\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Going to Edit &gt; Undo Canvas Size.<\/div>\n<p>Then go back to the <strong>Image<\/strong> menu, back to <strong>Canvas Size<\/strong>, and try again with different Width and Height values:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/2021\/drop-shadow-photo-border\/image-canvas-size.png\" alt=\"Reselecting the Canvas Size command from Photoshop's Image menu\" width=\"269\" height=\"91\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Going to Image &gt; Canvas Size.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 7: Select the image layer<\/h3>\n<p>We've added the photo border, so now let's add the drop shadow. In the Layers panel, click on the <strong>image layer<\/strong> to select it:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/2021\/drop-shadow-photo-border\/select-image-layer.png\" alt=\"Selecting the image layer in Photoshop's Layers panel\" width=\"267\" height=\"185\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Selecting the image layer.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 8: Add a Drop Shadow<\/h3>\n<p>Then click the <strong>fx icon<\/strong> at the bottom:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/2021\/drop-shadow-photo-border\/click-fx-icon.png\" alt=\"Clicking the layer effects icon in Photoshop's Layers panel\" width=\"267\" height=\"167\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Clicking the layer effects icon.<\/div>\n<p>And choose <strong>Drop Shadow<\/strong> from the list:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/2021\/drop-shadow-photo-border\/add-drop-shadow.png\" alt=\"Clicking the layer effects icon in Photoshop's Layers panel\" width=\"167\" height=\"109\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Clicking the layer effects icon.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 9: Adjust the Drop Shadow settings<\/h3>\n<p>The options for the Drop Shadow open in Photoshop's Layer Style dialog box. And the three main options are <strong>Angle<\/strong>, <strong>Distance<\/strong> and <strong>Size<\/strong>. Angle controls the direction of the light source, Distance is how far the shadow extends away from the object, and Size controls the softness of the shadow edges:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/2021\/drop-shadow-photo-border\/layer-style-dialog-box.png\" alt=\"The Angle, Distance and Size options for the Drop Shadow in Photoshop's Layer Style dialog box\" width=\"369\" height=\"250\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The Angle, Distance and Size options.<\/div>\n<h4>The Angle and Distance options<\/h4>\n<p>The fastest way to set the shadow's angle and distance is to simply click inside the document, keep your mouse button held down, and drag the shadow to position it. As you drag, the Angle and Distance values in the dialog box will change.<\/p>\n<p>Here I'm dragging the shadow down and to the right:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/2021\/drop-shadow-photo-border\/drag-drop-shadow-manually.jpg\" alt=\"Dragging inside the document to set the Drop Shadow's angle and distance.\" width=\"803\" height=\"441\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Dragging the shadow to set the angle and distance.<\/div>\n<p>Or you can enter specific Angle and Distance values. I'll set the <strong>Angle<\/strong> to <strong>135 degrees<\/strong> and the <strong>Distance<\/strong> to <strong>80 px<\/strong>. The values you need, especially the Distance and Size (which we'll look at next), will depend on your image:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/2021\/drop-shadow-photo-border\/shadow-angle-distance.png\" alt=\"Entering Angle and Distance values for the Drop Shadow in Photoshop's Layer Style dialog box\" width=\"349\" height=\"222\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Entering Angle and Distance values in the dialog box.<\/div>\n<p>Here's the result so far:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/2021\/drop-shadow-photo-border\/drop-shadow-angle-distance-set.jpg\" alt=\"The result after setting the Drop Shadow's angle and distance behind the photo.\" width=\"803\" height=\"441\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The result after setting the shadow's angle and distance.<\/div>\n<h4>The Size option<\/h4>\n<p>Then increase the <strong>Size<\/strong> value to soften the shadow edges.

We've added the border around the photo and the drop shadow behind it. But instead of using a white border and a black shadow, we can customize the effect by choosing colors directly from the image. Here's how to do it.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 10: Double-click the fill layer's color swatch<\/h3>\n<p>To change the border color, <strong>double-click<\/strong> on the fill layer's <strong>color swatch<\/strong> in the Layers panel:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/2021\/drop-shadow-photo-border\/double-click-color-swatch.png\" alt=\"Double-clicking the Solid Color fill layer's color swatch.\" width=\"267\" height=\"194\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Double-clicking the color swatch.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 11: Sample a new border color from the image<\/h3>\n<p>This re-opens the Color Picker.
