Open up the image you wish to add a screened box to. 2. With the rectangular marquee tool, select the area where you would like to place your screened box. 3. Make a new layer (Layer > New > Layer). 4. On the new layer, fill that box with a light grey. I used #B7B7B7. 5. Set the layer blending mode to "Screen" and set the opacity down a bit. Depending on how dark or light your image is will affect this. I usually stay within 40-60%. To add a border, you can simple zoom in and use the Line tool on a new layer.

That way your options on that layer will be open once again =\|. And, keep in mind that it works great with polygonal lasso as well ^^ -------------------- http://scribblesxp.deviantart.com

To add a border do the following add a Stroke Inside

Just click on the little F in your layer window and you are done

I think that your Idea is better.
much easyer.
