I think that photos on this site look great with a border (usually white with a description) but can't work out how to do it!

I have Photoshop 6 and Elements.

Any help would be most appreciated....

Cheers all

You can do it the way that Pauline describes or you use Image>canvas size and making sure that the anchor point is in the centre position and the colour is set to white, enter an appropriate value either in pixels or cms and click on OK. You may have to experiment to get the effect and size that you want. For the description you will have to use the Text tool.

Quick way is to outline the whole image with the crop tool, select your background colour, then simply pull the crop margins out a little larger then the actual image.

I'm not having a go at PS here (well, maybe a gentle prode) but it does surprise me that it doesn't have border and frame templates as PSP has. A few quick clicks and we're done.

Its so easy in photoshop cs, dont know about older versions.

open your photo

go to select - all
right click inside your photo, and select stroke

tell it the pixel size, say 15 to experiment, colour black, then ok

right click again choose stroke, this time white, pixel size 13

see whats happening?

right click again this time choose pixel size 11, colour black, ok

now this way is so easy and its upto you what size border to use and what colours you want.

What I've been using lately is the image>image size>canvas, centre point anchoured, and use .5 % black, for a thin black line.
