Hi guys

Hope this message finds you well.

I am sorry to trouble you, but after all those days, I still can't make this cropping mask effect. Do you think you can help me understand what I am getting wrong, and how to create it. In particular I don't know how to apply cropping mask to the border of the frame; it's always applied to the space inside.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi

You wanna have something like this? (see Screenshot)

Make sure to subtract (- with alt key) the desired/inner part of the outer rectangle selection. Then create a Layer Mask. If needed, invert it (ctrl + i).

Alternatively you could use Vector-Shape-Masks, but normal Masks will do the job for a start.

some people informed me that they could not see the screenshot, hence the additional posts.

thanks again for the help, really appreciate that.

Hi everybody.

Trust this message finds you all well.

Could you please help me with YouTube titorial/link on how to create this frame effect.

Add two different images to a document as layers, create a rectangle shape with a stroke using the shape tool, Ctrl+click on the layer icon to convert it to a selection, apply it to the layer as a layer mask. Takes ten seconds. in your case the top image for the frame in fact could just be a flipped over duplicate of the background image, so Layer --> Transform is your friend.
