Hazuki, I hope you don't mind me answering this.

I think I understand what you mean...
Here's what you need to do:

-Press CTRL+A to select all.
-Go to Select -> Contract -> 1 pixel

The next step would be Select -> Inverse, but that's mentioned in the tutorial.

Hope that helped ^^
I hate Photoshop T_T

I CTRL+A to select all, but then it won't let me contract at all. It will let me contract if I select a portion of my image, but not all of it. Here's a screenshot. I feel so stupid having to do this :(. You can boot me out if you want to, Hazuki. XDD...
But really, I'm not joking; If you think I'm not at "that level" you can kick meh :(

I have no idea why contract doesn't work. hmm
In that case, just use Select -> Modify -> border and set it to 1 pixel and there you have it. ^^
No need to inverse now.

And lol at the rest of your post, stop underestimating yourself hehe
coming back looking delicious

Ok, thank you so much. It worked ^^;
Anyway, here's my homework, Hazuki:

Dotted Border (Not that best sig I've ever made, but I think it's alright)



And for the layer style banner, here's a link to the original render, and here's my version of it (using layer styles):



Hope I did it alright XD;

Motsuko Live: I don't want to kick you out.... If I do then that means I am a faliure.... T_T
But at least you did it! Good job! =D

DarkChild: Thanks so much for explaining. ^^

CheesePeow: Alright I trust you did it because of the 'x's. I am at school currently and they are blocking images that are hosted by photobucket.

Ok guys, good job. I will have the next assignment done by this weekend. ^^

Hey Hazuki! I finished the assignments seventeen minutes before it would have been late. xP

Assignment #1. My best banner. This was my best banner before banner number three.





Assignment #2. Dashed? Ha, I don't like dashed. It always seems to be a banner that is all frilly and not my style. So I tried making this as much of my style as I could.




Assignment #3. Definitely my best ever. These two took so much time, but they were sooo worth it.

Original:



Changed:



It's been long but we can do it; let's make this our dream

Look to tomorrow because it's all we have. Turn up the music until the walls shake. What do we have?
Is it hope? Love? Is it nothing at all? We won't know at all until we make something of what we feel.
When that happens, we'll find the truth. We'll find what we want. And we will find ourselves, finally.

Wish

No spoils for the meek.

I can't access the site which showed me how to make the dashed borders.

Never mind, I fixed it. I made the banner



EDIT: Didn't like the border too much on that one

Just to let you know, you missed the post with my second assignment. ;D

Can I please join this class? The above banner I think is my best banner. I want to learn some new things n_n.


My dashed banner; I erased some parts of the border to make it look prettier xD.


My finished layer one, this is the original.

@ Rena: Wow O.o
You're really good. You should put some of these in the GRT (Graphics Rating Thread).

Anyway, I think in order to join a class, you need to ask at the graphics school. Not one of the class rooms. There's already a link to the graphics school in my sig, but here's another one. Just make a post requesting to be put in this class. They should accept you.

Ok. I made this for my sig/avatar, but I've adjusted the saturation a bit, too.
Here's the original render: Some Chick XD;

And here's the Avatar I made. I'll post the banner, too, because the avatar is very small (85x85), and it's hard to notice the differences.

Avatar:


Banner:


I've also used a layer style here, so don't think that all the changes are by saturation alone.

If you want me to do it again, just let me know. Like I said, I made this banner for my sig/av, and it just "happened" to somewhat fit into our 4th assignment.

Thanks;

I dont like using Hue/Saturation because it sought of makes the banner look dodgy.
But hey, I did it xD.

I never liked hue and saturation used in mass quantities, so I didn't go ahead and make a "WOMHGIWORKEDSOHARDONIT" banner. I just took a lower quality image and tried making it better with the hue and stuff.

But I did learn, Kisa-sama. xP
