Creating a border in a poster

I want to create a border for a poster I'm making. I put a white rectangle on the poster. I tried to put another rectangle, smaller, in the center to create a transparent area so that just the "border" remained. I can't seem to get the inner rectangle to turn transparent.
Recommendations are appreciated.
Thanks.

Well you want the layer to be transparent. Double click on the background name, a dialog will appear m saying new layer. Rename it frame
Draw the marquis for the opening rectangle witht he marquis tool
Hit delete
you will now see the transparency grid.
Now you can place as many images on different layers below it so you can reposition them t your liking.
You can turn one on at a time.
I assume you want to use more than one image there are other ways if you want different size borders for different sizes images.
Here is a screen shot of the result.

    how do you create a border around text?

    Can you be a little more specific about what you are trying to do and the application that you want to use? The methods can vary depending on the application and who published it. For instance, if you're using Final Cut Pro here is a discussion describing how the border can be created.

  • I can't login to my account. I had to create a new acct to post this.

    I have created my second new account today in order to post this. I wanted to post a question earlier, but when I tried to sign in Firefox told me the password I entered was wrong. It was not wrong. I created a new account and posted my question. Then to see if I could figure out what was wrong with my original account, I signed out of my new account and tried to sign in on my original account. No luck.
    So then I tried to sign in to my new account. Same response: wrong password. I tried resetting my password four times and each time, after resetting it and being presented with the sign in page again, I got the same incorrect password response.
    To post this I created another new account. To test whether this was related to the fact than I am now using Firefox 5, I tried to sign in with IE to both of my other accounts. No luck, same problem both times.

    I figured it out. The short explanation is this: Use different email addresses when you set up accounts, and for the password reset, use that same email address. Otherwise, Firefox will connect the reset with either nothing, or with a different account that had that email address assigned to it.

  • Creating a handheld look in post

    Any suggestions on creating a handheld look in post?

    If you have After Effects, you could take a faked handheld shot, apply Motion Stabilize to it and use an expression to extract the data to apply to your steady shot.
    You will need to crop the shot or scale it up to cover the black edges you get once you start moving the frame around.
    let us know how you solved this, eh?

  • How to create a border for a paragraph ?

    Can anyone tell me how to create a border for a paragraph ? Is this even possible without creating a table ?
    I would like to have the page header with a single line below it and the page footer with a single line above it. Inserting a line seems to force unnecessary space above of below the line and using a table seems to force a blank line below the table also creating unnecessary space.
    Thanks

    Thanks, I had the problem with this approach that the line never appeared on each page but adding to the section master would fix it.
    Still being able to set a border would be good! I did try using the text box but the border options are pretty inflexible. I was unable to just set the top or bottom borders. Did I miss something basic here or is this option just not available ?
    Any idea if this is coming in a future release ?

  • Is it possible, automatically, to create a border when a text is inserted.

    Is it possible, automatically, to create a border when a text is inserted.
    Example:
    List with subjects is:
    Name:
    address:
    etcetera...
    When the first subject (Name) is typed then a border will appear around the whole text
    Is this possible in Indesgn?
    Hans

    No. Indesign can't draw borders around text during an interaction. You can either set a border for a text frame or draw an unfilled rectangle around text, which then is an overlaying object, but this can't be automated.
    For an interactive PDF with forms, you can assign actions to a form field, but none to make a frame visible, a frame that would surround the text or show a border on one side.

  • I want to create a border...

    but it is not working!!!!!!! I want to create a border around a box. What I have done is create 2 separate transform groups one with the filled boxes and another with lines. The border works fine if it is just around one box in any position but when it is placed around a group of boxes it doesn't work! Consider the board a boardgame board... there have to be borders around the boxes so that the users can know where a square ends and begins spent all day on this today... didn't think that something so simple would be so difficult!!

  • ABAP run time error while perform LT06 or create TO with respect to posting

    Hi SAP WM Gurus,
    System is giving ABAP run time error while perform LT06 or create TO with respect to posting change notice, below are runtime analysis details.
    >> Short dump has not been completely stored. It is too big.
    >       P_MENGA = P_MENGE.
    007940       P_UMREZ = 1.
    007950       P_UMREN = 1.
    Can you give any idea on this issue.
    Thanks and Regards,
    SHARAN.

    This part is just the place in the program where the error occured, but why the error occured is mentioned earlier in the dump.
    Maybe you have a too big number in the field and hence a field overflow, maybe you have a character instead of a number in the field.
    Read the dump from the beginning. if you dont know how to read a dump,then try to get help from any local Abaper.

  • Creating a border around objects?

    This should be simple but as a human being I'm useless and I can't figure it out
    I want to create a border around images like the triangles on
    this website.
    http://www.htmlandcssbook.com/code-samples/chapter-15/example.html
    Baby steps please, as I said I'm an invalid

    I'm 73 you will get that math soon hopefully you also get to 73 some day take your time. By 15 I had to take it in school.
    Equilateral triangle have three equal length sides and all three angle are 60degree  only these will expand with equal size borders added on the three sides.. Some triangle will expand with two equal size borders other all the borders will be different sizes. Symmetric things like squares and circles expand evenly.

  • Creating a border

    i need help creating a border around an image, that follows the shape of the image around 15mm away. this image is going to be printed onto cardboard to create a cardboard cut out. the border will be the cutting lines. i have been teaching myself so far but i cant think of the easiest way to solve this.

    It's difficult to offer specific advice without really knowing the nature of the artwork, but here's one way that might be applicable:
    Artwork composed of vector shapes. Choose Edit > Copy, then Edit > Paste in Front.
    With the pasted shapes still selected Click the Unite button in the Pathfinder panel to unite the selected shapes into one:
    With the new united shape still selected, choose Object > Path > Offset Path and enter a value of 15mm:

  • LR3 How to create a border preset

    Hi
    Is it possible to create a standard border for my images I upload to Flickr.   I have the Flickr LR3 export set up for a particular size. Sometimes I have to create a border in PS CS5 before exporting to Flickr. Its a bit of a pain so wondered if somehow I could create a standard sort of preset which I could select for my Flickr uploading
    Thanks

    For that I would look at Mogrify

  • Using Images to create a border in CS3

    Hello people,
    I've recenty, found that CSS3 is capable of creating cutom border styles by using your own images. I know that CSS3 is included with Adobe CS5 Dreamweaver, but I only have CS3. What I wanted to know is if there was an alternate method in CS3 that looks like a border, but is just an image.
    I know it is possible using a background image and stretching it, but was simply wondering if there is a more correct way.
    Thanks in advance.

    You can achieve some interesting results with regular CSS borders.  
    And CSS3 Box-shadows & Border-Radius.

    Or the old method with image slices.

  • Fill color also creates unwanted border

    Hi,
    I am using a conditional statement that adds fill color to a check box and a subform field when the check box is checked. The color fills in properly (and upon de-selection, it disappears) as it is supposed to, but on some fields, there is also appearing an unwanted border around the check box. Not only does the border appear, but it fails to disappear upon de-selection. 
    So, my response is, Say What?! Hoping someone can let me know what is going on and how to get rid of the border.
    Here's the exact code I have applied to one of the check boxes and which is creating a border as well.
    if (TakeTAKSAcc.rawValue==1){TAKSAccSubjects.presence="visible",this.fillColor="238,238,238" ;}else{TAKSAccSubjects.presence="hidden",this.fillColor="255,255,255";}
    ~Jenny

    I don't know about checkboxes, but I had the same thing happening with rectangle drawobjects, and I got around it by setting the colour of the border to the same as the fill colour.

  • Creating a border around a image

    I am trying to creat a bborder around our company logo so it can be put on a transparent sticker. I currently have the logo on a white background

    OK.. so this is going to be a bit tricky.
    Here is what I did to add a border to your logo:
    First, I added the half inch border to your canvas like I did in my past post...
    Then, select the white color, like my first post, and delete it.
    Then, go back to select color range, and sample all of the colors in the logo to select the whole logo.
    Then, expand the selection by however many pixel you'd like:
    Then, fill the selection with white, or whatever color you want the border to be:
    Hope this helps,
