Adding borders around images

**joffa** · 05-05-2009, 8:28pm

How do you go about adding borders around your images? Is there a way it can be automated somehow? It would be a bit tedious doing it manually in photoshop all the time...

Joffa the only way I know of is to change the canvas size on the Image menu in PS.

I use the free FastStone Image Viewer. I have written about it before. You can apply a variety of borders to a batch of pics. Search the forum for other posts with FastStone in them.

yep if you use photoshop you can create an "action" to automate the frame on any photo, or any other often used group of steps, makes life really easy

You can also download frame actions from numerous sites to add to Photoshop, many of them are free, but its really easy to record your own. Do you use photoshop?

I use a plugin for LightRoom called Mogrify. Does borders, text, sharpening and a few other things too, all during the export process.

OnOne"s Photoframe is the best i know of. But it costs money

Ditto with the L2/Mogrify plugin for Lightroom 2
