Getting thin black borders All of the "processed" digital images I see everywhere have an automatic thin black border around them. I use PhotoSuite and there is no editing function for this. Anyone know how I get the border? Thanks. Rustie

I'm not familiar with that software, but perhaps it has a similar feature as Elements... If you can enlarge the Canvas size (not the same as enlarging the Image size)---set your background fill color to black, and enlarge your Canvas size say, 2-4 pixels in width and height. That will (again, in Elements) create a black "border" at the perimeter of your image. You can control the thickness by simply enlarging by more pixels.

Thank you. This may very well work however it is too slow to process dozens of pictures. Practically every photo I see, even on the front page of a print newspaper, has a little black border. There must be some automatic program or feature that can do a whole file full of pictures to get this effect? I take about 35K photos a year for real estate related work with Sony DSC cameras, and would love the little black border. Thanks. Rus

Hi Rus, Corel Paint Shop Pro, a low-cost competitor to Photo Shop, you can down-load a trial copy at www.corel.com, has a tool “add borders". You select width and color and presto-chango you get a border of your choice. Likely Photo Shop and it’s variants have a similar function. Alan Marcus
