Printing with white borders in Photoshop I hope someone hasn't asked this before. I looked at archive and didn't find anything. I want to print photographs with white borders on my 4x6 and 5x7 paper. I have looked at 4 photoshop books and researched the internet and only find examples on how to create white borders on photographs. I want to print the photographs with white borders. Just like I get the prints from a lab with white borders. I have a way but it is too cumbersome and I know there has to be an easier way. I have photoshop 6 and an epson 2200. If anyone can point me to a link or a good book. Greatly appreciated.

Seems simple enough, select all, modify, border, choose your width in pixels, edit fill with background or forground colour, Image Canvas Size (choose your size), edit fill with white and you're done... hth

Or,with the rectangular selection marquee, click in the corner as far away from the verticle/horizontal edges as you want the white to be of your image and drag to select the size picture you want, (as if you were going to crop), invert selection to just the outer edge, make sure your background color is white, and under EDIT, select CUT. this should remove the outer edge of your image and leave a white border. My two cents,

What printer settings if any. My main interest is printing them out with white borders. I have added borders but when I print they don't come out with equal sides. Thanks for your help.

Check to see if your ruler is on in Photoshop so you can make sure the border is an equal distance on each side; that you have the right size paper setting; and then when you check the print preview button, that it shows what you want to see around the edges. Most of the time, the print preview is pretty accurate... Mikki

Haven't tried making your image size smaller than the paper size?
