Open your graphic or tube in PSP. (if using a tube, you will need to add a solid color behind your tubed image)
Windows/Duplicate then minimize one image.
On the open image, resize to 200 X 200
(This
was a tube so I added a white background and merged all layers flat.)
With your eyedropper tool
,
select your first border color.
Click on "Add to Swatches"
Image/Add Borders with Symmetric Checked and all settings to 6 pixels as shown below.
In the Color box, select your color.
With your eyedropper tool again, select another color from your graphic.
Image/Add Borders--change settings to 12 pixels and select your color from the color box.
Once again, select another color from your graphic and add to swatches.
Image/Add Borders--change settings to 6 pixels and select your color from the color box.
Once again, select another color from your graphic and add to swatches.
Image/Add Borders--change settings to 12 pixels and select your color from the color box.
