This tutorial will teach you how to give a dot edged frame to an image.

Step 1

Open an image.

Step 2

Select the image and click on Filters>Alien Skin Splat LE>Edges as the screenshot given below.

Step 3

Select Halftone Dots option from Edge Mode. See the Alien Skin window given below.

Step 4

You can adjust the Edge Width, Margin and Feature Size sliders. The values we have given here are: Edge Width - 55, Margin - 0, Feature size - 71, Direction - 90 and Random Seed - 20. If you want a transparent fill for the image, you can check the option Transparent Fill, then the image has a white background.

Step 5

Here below you can see an image with a dot edged frame and a transparent fill.

If you are not checked the Transparent Fill checkbox then the color option is active, so you can select a color for your background. See the image below.
