Hi Robert! Welcome to the forum!
as for your graphic question: So, I'm ass|u|ming
that you're trying to make the white border another color? Are you trying to make it blend in with the web page? In order to help you better, we need to know exactly what you're trying to acheive. If you're simply trying to soften the edges of the circle do the following:
*First: go to WINDOW>LAYERS to bring up your layers palette. Now right click on the layer called "background" and select "layer properties". Rename it something you'll remember. Ok.
*2ND: Select your marquee tool (hit M on the keyboard) and make sure you have the circular tool selected. Now, holding down the shift key to ensure a perfect circle, make a selection over the picture. Now if you go to SELECT>INVERSE (or shft+ctrl+I) it will reverse your selection. If you were to hit delete now without having renamed the background layer it would fill the deleted area with the background color. You don't want that!
Anyway, so now hit delete and you will notice just your picture with a checkered background (this means it's transparent). Hopefully your selection is still active. If it isn't take your magic wand tool and select the checkered background or hit control Z to undo. This will bring your selection back up if you turned it off. Ok.. Almost done. Now, with your selection active, go to SELECT>FEATHER enter a value of 5 to 10. Now hit delete a few times and it will give you the nice soft edges. You can now make another layer to put below the picture and fill it with whatever color you want. I filled it with black and came up with this. Hope this helps at all. Again I'm not entirely sure what you're going for. Keep on the path.
