Author old fashioned edge of photograph

The borders of old photographs often have a crenated (?) serrated (?) (I
don't know the english word for it) edge. If you know what I mean, do you
know how I can get that in PSP to give my photo's such a ??? edge?

thanks in advance,

Leo

Deckle edge On this side of the pond.
Paint around the edge with white brush with large steps so that the
impression are half circles. Click top right hold down shift key and click
bottom right. One line of scalloped edges. you could do simler with eraser
And using brush variations. You could make the size change as you paint.
Once you get good make a edge mask that you can use over and over

My favorite way is a variation on this, using the fact that a brush
draws a straight line between clicks when the Shift key is held
down. Try a white circular paint brush of size = twice the width of
the white edge you want and Hardness = 0. Fetch the Brush Variance
palette, click the curved Reset arrow, and set Position Jitter =
100%.

Click the center of the brush at one corner. Hold Shift while
clicking the remaining corners. Vary these settings to suit.

There are some frames that give this effect. If you don't
find one in PSP, search the Web. There are sites with frames
to download.

Use an image that already has a deckle edge, promote the image to a regular
layer, remove the image from within the deckle border and clean up anything
outside of the serrated edge then export the frame as a picture frame.
Keep in mind that old photos had white borders so the serrated outside of
the frame will have to be transparent and will show anything underneath it,
so you have to account for that (or the background color against which the
photo will be presented). Type the words deckle photo edge into google.

Thank you all very much,
I succeeded in both ways to make 'deckle edges'.
