Is there a way the dashed border is smaller? Instead of having the dashes that big I mean like little dots?

i do not know, i think that maybe you can shrink the patern image down to somthing smaller and do what it says from there on out, i will test this out hen i get home later this evining because for now i am leaving >_<

Yes, instead of several pixels, make it one pixel. Meaning, the canvas size would be 2x2.

Hmm.. The border looks like it was selected and the selection line stayed.

[Albus Dumbledore 0]

well masuko, that is kind of the point...the selection line is dashed and the this is a Dashed Border Tutorial Tutorial for Photoshop...lol but if you want to change the color just change the colors when you are making the Patern..but i dont think it looks too good with the colors changed...this is an example of what i did with the colors changed

 

 

but i think i might have accidenlty made it 2px instead of 1px..thats why its soo big, but also here is another one i dont understand why the colors are different i didn't mean for them to be

 

 

and again: here is another one i dont think i did so hott on the border
