Raised Edges
This is not much of a tutorial but it still creates a great effect to your images. I works well when the image and the background don't exactly match. The functions used are: 
- cropping and 
- buttonize.
Step 1: 
Open your image and make sure the colour depth is set to 16 million colours i.e. click "colours - increase colour depth - 16 million colours". Using the selection tool, select the part of the image you want to be buttonized. Crop the image by clicking "image - crop to selection".
Step 2: 
Now you are ready to create the raisde edge effect. Click "image - effects - buttonize" and enter the following settings: 
- Height: 6 
- Width: 6 
- Opacity: 70 
- Transparent Edge: checked 
This is what you final image will look like - simple and stylish.
You can play around with the settings to change the look of the border. This is the most common way to create buttons.
