AAA FotoFrame. Change the width to 6, matte to 1, and opacity to 50.

Add your name, copyright, & license info. Apply a drop shadow of choice to your name. Flatten image again and save as a PNG.

For your avatar, open a new image, 200 x 200. On the original flattened image, drag image onto your new blank canvas. Arrange to your liking and flatten image.
