1. Load Photoshop and open your image.  Press 'Shift', 'Ctrl' and 'J' to move your image to its own layer.  Now use the Rectangular Marquee tool ('Shift' + 'M') to create a rectangle inside the image.  Finally, press 'Q' and the outer borders of your selection will appear red (which means you're in Quick Mask Mode).
