man, you other people are no help at all.



you need to size down your image to the size you want it. find a 'sloppy'
border like the one in the sample (you'll have to do your own searching for
those). increase the white canvas to 8x10, then drag over the black sloppy
and line it up (use 'scale'). add the text to the bottom and you're done.
for a genuine headshot, you will want the white canvas on the bottom to be
bigger than on the top (see your sample). reverse borders also look cool.
that is when you have a white sloppy and black large canvas around it.

and by the way, resolution on screen is rated in PIXELS per inch (ppi), not
dots (dpi), therefore you want your resolution set to 300ppi.
