    Want to create your picture to look like a real photograph? Here’s how to:

    1. Duplicate the picture (it will automatically set it as Layer 1).
    2. On Layer 1, Click on Layer Menu> Layer Style> Stroke.
    3. Set the following parameters on Stroke:
             Size = 1 px
            Position = Outside
            Blend Mode = Normal
            Opacity = 25%
            Fill Type = Color
            Color = 000000 (or Black)
    4. Adjust the Canvas Size (Image menu> Canvas Size). I suggest you adjust both the width and height to 10 additional pixels.
    5. Duplicate Layer 1.
    6. Edit the Stroke layer style with the following parameters:
            Size = 7px
            Position = Inside
            Blend Mode = Normal
            Opacity = 100%
            Fill Type = Color
            Color = FFFFFF (or White)
    7. Check on Drop Shadow and set the following parameters:
    Blend Mode = Multiply
            Opacity = 75%
            Angle = 145 degrees
            Distance = 5 px
            Spread = 1 px
            Size = 5 px

    That’s all! You’ll achieve somewhat similar to this:
