Photoshop and borders

[amara_shadow]

Hi there, I have seen several people putting borders on their photos - like black ones etc, can this be done through photoshop?

If so, how?

Thanks

yes. Push control f9 and it opens your actions pane.

Then start a new action

Increase canvas size by however many pixels you want (relative), and make the background whatever color you want. save your action. tada. one click borders.

That's kinda how I did mine...I might have had another step in there...but I forget. If you get lost, let us know.

Imagine if Photoshop Couldn't do borders!

As usual there's a million and one other ways to do this in Photoshop.
