Adobe Cs4 Borders

[buc2]

Hi guys, I just want to ask about borders in cs4. I have noticed some great borders with some of the examples that are posted in Ausphotography and have wondered how to use them. At the moment I have a large group photo of my family and would like to add some pictures down the side but the Images will need something like a cream border around them or something to break the Images apart. Any one able to help? :)

G'day mate, go to edit>stroke and you can make a plain border from there, it only works on layers, not the background though.

Or, you can go to layers, styles and do it from there as well.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Harves, I will give that a go. :food04:

You could also adapt the tutorial here (http://www.ausphotography.net.au/forum/showthread.php?t=52026) to suit your needs. I'd expand one of the side borders and drop your additional images as layers. Hope this helps.

I created an action for my simple white borders I use on all my web files ...

1. Open image
2. Resize to 1024 x .....
3. Stretch canvas by 2 pixels (black colour)
4. Stretch canvas by 50 pixels (white colour)
5. Resize image to 1024 x ....
6. Save as.
