Program for Borders?

[The_Caper]

Good day all:

I would like to start putting some borders around my photos. The program I am using for editing is Microsoft Digital Image Suite which does have a Borders, Frames and Mats option but I can`t seem to find a nice plain black border for example.

Are there any programs or software out there that just create borders and such. I know that CS2 and CS3 probably have something built in to do borders but I can`t justify the cost of the Adobe software although I would love to one day be using Adobe for all my editing.

Thanks all.

Hi Jols:
Thanks for the info. I downloaded this irfanview and opened up a picture but I can't figure out where in this program you can select borders?

 

[jols]

drop down 'image' then 'canvas size'

then put in what size border you want in the boxes.

try 200 first thats a thick border then work down to the size you like.

this is how i got the hang of it.

hope this helps let me know

I've just done this for myself, I use a freeware program called the Gimp, its just as comprehensive as Photoshop. They have a script built in that allows you to automatically set up borders.

However a simple way to do it yourself, would be to increase the canvas size by double the border width X and Y. Centre the image, then paint in your border.
