Thanks for the tip. I'll remember that for the future. I tend to focus on making it look good that I forget the border. Something I do occasionally to sigs is instead of the border I use New Layer> Rectangle Select> Bucket Fill> Opacity any%. I don't really know how to decsribe it, but I call it...
Thanks for the tutorial. I never noticed the lasso tool very much. I always used the magic wand and that didn't work too well with JPEG images. This is my result.
