Here's a little video from Adobe TV that shows you how to create borders in Photoshop Elements. If you don't have Photoshop Elements, skip the first 1:25 of the video, the rest of the steps apply to Photoshop as well:

How to add a border around images posted to Facebook?

I am using LR 4.1, also usis PS CS5.
Anyone who uses Facebook to showcase image galleries knows that Facebook changes how images are displayed from time to time. One month it will be on a black background and the next on a white background. And then they put overlay's on top of your images and they change things around whenever they wish. There is not rock solid consistency from Facebook on how they display your images across devices or over time.
What I am trying to do is to add some consistency to how my images are displayed by adding my own border to my images. I need some ideas on how to best do this. The way that I have been doing it does not appear to be ideal and I think someone must have a better way.
Ideally, I would want Lightroom to add a border for me based on some setting under the export manager. But as far I know there is no setting to do this? (Why doesn't lightroom have any border options anywhere yet for anything it exports? This would be relatively simple I think.)
Here is the only way I know how to solve my issue.
First, my other considerations:
I want to keep my original images in my catalog in tact and as is w/o a border and with layers if it is a .psd file. I do NOT want to destructively add a border to the catalog images, only the images that end up on Facebook. I also want to add my watermark image to the final image so that it is done as the last step so that the bottom part of my watermark shows my web site address over the white border on the bottom of the image. Using a droplet and the watermark in the same step does not work properly because it applies the watermark before it runs the action, not after.
I have created an action to add a x pixel white border by:
Merging (flatten) all layers
Creating a new unlocked background "image" layer
Expanding the canvas by x pixels.
Creating a new white filled layer and moving it to the bottom of the layer's pallet.
Adding a 2 pixel black inside stroke to my image layer and adding a drop shadow.
I created a droplet from this action and put it in the droplet folder for LR.
Now for the repeated steps that I am going through...
Select the images that I want to write to Facebook.
Export these images to a new folder using the droplet.
Import the folder of all of these images back into Lightroom.
Move the new images with borders on them into the correct LR FB publish service.
Publish the photos using the sharpening and watermark settings.
Delete the .psd files created in Step #2
The steps that I would like to avoid are #2, #3, #6
Or maybe I am going about this all wrong? Anybody have any better ideas?

You may find it much easier to use the Migrify plug-in from Tim Armes/Photographers Toolbox which does what you want from within Lr.

How to add a Border

Hi!
I want to know how to add a border to a particular column (Vertical) in the report. I have no clue, please help me.
Thank you very much.
null

A partial solution:
-- Select a border color, as suggested.
-- Pull down Format/Border, and deselect
the "top" and "bottom" buttons.
This will get you vertical lines around all
cells with data, but not cells with null
values. Also (it's been a while since I
looked at this in detail) this works nicely
from the live previewer but doesn't work in
all output formats - not HTML for instance,
if I recall correctly. Depends on which
type of output you need.
If you have a lot of null cells, i.e. with
no border, the lines is your best option.
Done neatly it looks about the same.
HTH.

How to add byte[] array based Image to the SQL Server without using parameter

how to add byte[] array based Image to the SQL Server without using parameter.I have a column in table with the type image in sql and i want to add image array to the sql image column like below:
I want to add image (RESIM) to the procedur like shown above but sql accepts byte[] RESIMI like System.Drowing. I whant that sql accepts byte [] array like sql image type
not using cmd.ParametersAdd() method
here is Isle() method content

SQL Server binary constants use a hexadecimal format:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms179899.aspx
You'll have to build that string from a byte array yourself:
byte[] bytes = ...
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder("0x", 2 + bytes.Length * 2);
foreach (var b in bytes)
builder.Append(b.ToString("X2"));
string binhex = builder.ToString();
That said, what you're trying to do - not using parameters - is the wrong thing to do. Not only it is insecure due to the risk of SQL injection but in the case of binary data is also inefficient since these hex strings are larger than the original byte[]
data.

Take a look at the link shown below where drawing is done on a JButton -- you can draw your image on a JLabel too.

By drawing on a JLabel or JButton, you can add tooltiptext when needed.

How to add a Border around an ImageView

Hi all,
I'm adding a row of photos in my application which are being resized to fit into some constrained space with Preserve Ratio true. They are put in a TilePane, with a Label below each photo.
Basically, I give all my ImageViews a fitHeight of 120 pixels, and let them determine how wide they will become themselves in order to preserve the ratio.
It looks great.
However, I would like to add a Border around these images, as they sometimes fade too much into the background to clearly see the edges. ImageViews themselves donot support borders, so I'm forced to wrap these ImageViews inside another container.... but, no matter what container I use, the container itself refuses to resize itself to fit exactly around the image -- it seems to be completely oblivious of the real size of the Image -- with some parameters the ImageView will simply render itself outside the edges of its container, and with other parameters the container is wider than the ImageView leaving a gap on the right side.
This is yet another instance where I want my ImageViews to resize themselves to fit the available space, resulting in a huge struggle to force these components into their proper straight-jacket. Anyone got any solutions for this?

I'm afraid that also won't work, as the Image needs to be scaled, and the dimensions you are using are from the unscaled image.
I've however am now using this class to get what I want, together with a stylesheet to specify the border it works and I get nice borders.

How to add a border without a soft edge?

I want to add a border to a graphic but I don't want a soft edge. Anyone know how to do that? I'm using Elements 5.0
Thanks.

Karla,
A simple hard edged border can be created by increasing the canvas size and
filling the added area with a color. Go >Image >Resize >Canvas Size and
fill in Width and Height. Next select the added space and fill it with the
color (>Edit >Fill Selection). There are more sophisticated ways to it, but
this will get you on the way. If you use >Select >Modify >Border, you only
get a soft edge.

How to add a border to ListView

I want to add a border to a ListView control. Using the WS_BORDER window style has worked:
HWND hListView = CreateWindowEx(0, WC_LISTVIEW, "", WS_CHILD | LVS_REPORT | WS_VISIBLE | WS_BORDER, 10, 10, 320, 200, hWnd, 0, hInstance, NULL);
But I am not sure if this is how it is done, maybe I am missing some other style or I should use a style specific to ListView (i.e. LVS_xxx) or something.
So is WS_BORDER sufficient?

WS_BORDER should be fine, and is generally the best bet for a standard window that supports it.

Anyone know how to add a border to buttons in JOptionPanes?

I can't find a way to add a border to the buttons on my JOption dialog boxes. I would like them to have the same look and feel of my other buttons. Any suggestions?

This inspired me to look for a way to globally change the background color of JTextFields. ALso the color of JLabels and the font for labels and textfields. I searched the API for topics related to javax.swing.UIManager.put but cannot find anything helpful. Can you point me in the right direction or tell me how to do this?
Thanks

How to add varnish to an image

HOw do i add varnish to an image i want to print?

Draw the shape of the area you want to varnish.
Colour it with a spot colour. Any faint colour will do. Name the spot colour ‘Varnish’ or something else appropriate.
Put the shape onto a top layer and set the colour to Overprint (in Attributes).
View the file with Overprint Preview turned on. The varnished area will probably look slightly tinged with the colour you chose, but don’t worry about that.
Check Separation Preview to make sure that your varnish is definitely in its own separation.
Remember that you should be thinking in inks rather than just judging what you see on your monitor.
Talk to your printer to make sure that he prints your Varnish separation with actual varnish and not with some silly colour.

How do I remove border surrounding image?

I am old as dirt and very new to Photoshop CS3. Don't ask me why (I just like to learn), I want to try making animations. I have found several online tutorials and just completed my first animation (a rocket being launched). I am working on another one, but couldn't find the walkman gif used in the tutorial. I Googled and found this image, but don't know how to remove the border surrounding him? Lucie

Click on the animated frames panel to make it active. This is going to be needed.
For frame animation the easiest way is to create a new layer for each frame. So you can copy/paste to the next frame for any repetitive pixels needed.
When you are finished with all of your layers in the animations panel is a small icon in the upper right hand corner.
Click that icon to bring up the menu
Clear all frames
convert layers to frames
Once you see each layer in their perspective frame, you are ready to generate an animated gif.
Before you do make sure repeat frame is not enabled as it will create a funky animation.
To create an animate gif use File>Save For Web
Preview the gif in a browser to verify it is animating correctly.
Once of things that can be repeated on each layer is the color of your background\
To copy a layer to a new layer use ctrl-j on windows or cmd-j on mac.
At any time you can clear the frames do your work on the layer then convert the layers to frames and repeat this process as many times as needed.
If your canvas is not large enough , expand it - Image>Canvas Size

How to add a photo filter image adjustment layer?

In this tutorial at the last step it says to add a photo filter image adjustment layer on the image to give it a warm finish, I can't see any adjustment palette as shown in image. I use a CS3 Extended.

Wow, again I stand corrected.
I have a perceptual "blind spot" when it comes to finding textual entries in lists. It's a "hidden in plain sight" kind of quirk that I normally work around either by being diligent or finding another way (e.g., pressing the button I highlighted above). I'm sure magicians and people who design camouflage would understand it.
I actually looked in both Photoshop CS5 and CS3 and didn't perceive that entry before I wrote my post above. I probably looked right at it but didn't sense it was there. I was even thinking of writing up a bug report. Now, of course, since you've pointed it out, I go back and look again in my copies of Photoshop and I do see it. It's a bit of a scary realization, as I have to wonder what else in life I've missed because of this. I'm reminded mildly of the scene in the old film "The Andromeda Strain" where the lab worker sees a flashing red "NO GROWTH" indicator but doesn't take action on it because of an epileptic block.
Thanks again for setting me straight MTSTUNER. I continue to learn a lot from you.

How to add metadata to multiple images via Template

Hi
Wonder if anyone can tell me if it is possible to add Metadata to multiple images using a metadata template. I see that I can add to multiple using Organizer but with that you have to type in the metadata. In Elements 11 I can do it using a template but only for 1 image at a time.
Is there a way to do this in Elements 11 or Organizer?
Thanks in Advance.

In the File properties dialog of the editor you can enter your values in the metadata tabs, then use the 'Import' button on the bottom of the dialog, switch to 'Export' and that exports your values as a template.
As far as I know, this is to be used in the advanced dialog of the downloader : you can use your templates at import time for a batch of images.
Otherwise, when you have selected many images in the organizer, you can click on the 'Add IPTC data' button in the tags panel on the right side : you have to enter the data which will be applied to all the selected files.

How to add a border to an entire Pages document?

I can't seem to find, anywhere, the option to add a nice looking border to my wedding maps. What's up?

Peter;
I've been trying to put a border on a text box with no luck. In Inspector I select Text>Borders and Rules then I hit the 'add a border around the paragraph' button. All I get is a line above the paragraph, though if I then make the box big I do see a line below the paragraph but no side lines... at all. When I try with a shape box I have no problem putting a line/border around the box.
