How do I add an outline around an image in Elements 10

I have an image that I created via Elements 10... The main body of the image is black and I am wanting to add a white outline around the image so I can place the image on a black background... Can someone advise how to add an outline including colorizing the outline around the image... Thanks

Depending on what you want, you may need to add some canvas to give the border a place to be (Image>Resize>Canvas Size) but you can just press Ctrl+A/Cmd+A to select all, then go to Edit>Stroke (outline) selection, where you can choose the parameters of the border stroke. You can't choose Outside for the location, though, since that would put it off the canvas entirely where it wouldn't be visible.

  • I am making a graduation video for my cousin using Final Cut Pro. I have photos layered over videos, and I was wanted to find out how you can add a border around the photos so they stand off of the video. Anyone know what I could do?

    You would need an image editor to edit the images and add a border to the image first before importing them into Final Cut.

  • How do I create an outline around text please

    hi all, How do I create an outline around text please
    thanks,

    You can see here that you can simply apply a stroke to live text by double clicking the stroke icon in the bottom left of the toolbar and selecting a color. I chose red.
    If you select the text, then go to Type > Create Outlines, you get more options in the stroke palette, like whether the stroke is aligned to the outside or inside of the text object's boundary. The text below is outlined with the stroke aligned to the outside.

  • How do I add a "stroke" to an image in Motion 5?

    I have a rectangle image.  I want a border on it (a stroke).
    How do I add one of those?

    The easiest way to add a border around an image is to use a simple border filter. Select the image layer and click the filter button in the tool bar and select border>simple border. In the HUD or filter tab in the inspector you can set the width, color and whether you want the border inside or outside of the image.

  • How do I add an outline to a check box in InDesign CS6?

    We have a series of existing documents (that were not produced by us) where the check boxes show up as purple boxes in the exported interactive pdfs. Our client wants us to amend the check boxes so that they show up in the pdf as purple boxes with a .25pt black outline, (which would also show up if the pdf was printed).
    In the InDesign document the check boxes already have a 1pt black outline (which doesn't show in the pdf). I can change the 1pt outline to ,25pt, but it still doesn't show in the pdf.
    We have other documents with check boxes where the outline does show up in the exported pdf, but we can't see any difference at all in the properties of the check boxes, so we can't see why some outlines work and others don't.
    Any help would be gratefully received!

    insigniagraphics,
    Here are the step-by-step instructions.
    I assume you already have checkboxes on your ID document. If you don't, skip to the end of this post.
    Select one and then switch to the Direct Selection (white arrow) tool.
    Double click the edge of the check. You will see a blue frame around the check.
    Select that blue frame with the Direct Selection tool. You have just selected the frame.
    Go to the Stroke controls and make it Black.
    You now have an outline around the check. This is what it will look like when it is chosen.
    But your boss probably wants the outline also to be around the area of the check when it is not chosen.
    Keep the form selected and switch to the Normal (off) state.
    Use the Selection tool to select the frame edge again and apply the stroke.
    You now have outlines around each check and in the empty spaces.
    BTW the purple is deceptive and depends on Acrobat's settings.
    End of the post:
    Just start with a frame that has a stroke and you will have one when you convert it to a form.

  • How can I add a frame around a photo?

    Can I add a frame to a photo in iPhoto without creating a book, calendar, or card?
    If not what other - simple - application can I use to do that?

    If you've looked through Themes and don't like them or the process of getting to them, there are a bunch of applications which will allow you to add borders or frames to images. Some are even free.
    I like GraphicConverter, which is about $35 in the Mac App Store. Also in the Mac App Store and free is SketchBookExpress.
    Remember to export the photos you wish to work with from iPhoto in order to access them with other applications.

  • How do I add circular text to an image?

    I have successfully cropped/masked a circular image, and now need to add circular text around it. How do I accomplish that?

    Christine,
    Basically, you create a circle, then use the Path Type Tool (ClickHold the Type Tool to get to it) and click with it on the circle where you want the typing to start, then start typing.
    You may create the circle independently and place it, or you may open the Group in the Layers palette, then click the Clipping Mask, then Object>Path>Offset Path by the distance you want between the mask and the circle, then drag the new circle up so it gets out of the group.
    You may wish to use the Paragraph palette (which is with the Character palette) to select Align Center and to click the topmost Anchor Point of the circle to have the type symmetrical from the top.
    You may adjust the Type relative to its circle, and thereby its distance from the mask by changing the Baseline Shift (down is negative); it is in the Character Options. You may need to tick Show Options in the flyout.
    Terms are shown when you hover.

  • How can I create a border around an image in cs6?

    I would appreciate advice on how to place a border around an image in cs6. 
    Thanks in advance.

    To add to the previous responses, if you want this only for 1 image on your page, you could either assign a specific ID or CLASS to the DIV that holds that image and assign CSS for that in particular like this:
    HTML
    <img src="./your/path/to/img.jpg" id="imgwithborder" />
    CSS
    img#imgwithborder{
    border: 1px solid black; /* will render a 1px solid black line on all 4 sides */
    Alternatively, you could use inline styling to achieve this:
    HTML:
    <img src="./your/path/to/img.jpg" style="border: 1px solid black;" />
    Good luck.

  • How do I add video in my Photoshop images and graphics? I need it to play in Adobe Acrobat when I'm done.

    I designed an electronic press kit and I need the video to play on it. I'm getting the video link from YouTube so I was wondering how to make that happen. I already tried putting the YouTube link behind the video layer so it can be clickable in Acrobat, but when I sent it to the online magazine forum there was a lot of lines in it. I saw this YouTube video on how to do it but it requires ImageReady TUTORIAL-Add video to your Photoshop images and graphics! - YouTube. I don't have the Photoshop to ImageReady button in my PS....HELP! How do I get this done?!?!?

    That tutorial is extremely old. ImageReady was last used in CS2. In other words that program no longer exists.
    Luckily video made its way into photoshop so you can easily import your video into photoshop.
    Instead of an animation panel, it is now called the timeline panel. When the panel first opens it will ask you if you want an animation or a movie. Choosing movie will reduce the number of layers required down to just 2, one for the movie and one for the TV image. Since this is a timeline, you can split the timeline to remove any portion of the video you do not want or need to add an effect to that area of the timeline. Each time you split the video, it will move it to a new layer for you.
    You can still export as an animated gif by using the File>Save As dialog box. or You can export as a movie and choose another video format. Which format and codec you can choose will depend on how many other video apps of Adobe's you also have installed.

    Searched Watermark in Manual
    Adding a Watermark at Export
    A watermark is a visible graphic overlay that is applied to an image. Photographers often use watermarks to indicate that images are protected by a copyright and discourage others from inappropriately using their images.
    You can import a graphics file and add it to your images as a watermark.
    To add a watermark image to your exported images:
    1 Select the images you want to export.
    2 Choose File > Export > Versions (or press Command-Shift-E).
    3 In the dialog that appears, choose Edit from the Export Preset pop-up menu.
    4 In the Export Presets dialog, select the export preset you want to use to export your images.
    5 Select the Show Watermark checkbox.
    6 Click the Choose Image button.
    7 Select the image you want to use as a watermark, then click Choose.
    8 Choose where you want the watermark to appear on the image from the Position
    pop-up menu.
    9 To adjust the opacity of the watermark, drag the Opacity slider to a new position.
    10 If you want the watermark to be scaled in proportion to the image’s output size, select the “Scale watermark” checkbox.
    11 When you’re satisfied with how your watermark appears in the watermark preview area, click OK.
    12 Navigate to the location where you want the exported images placed.
    13 Choose a name format for your exported files from the Name Format pop-up menu.
    14 Click Export Versions.
    Your files are exported with the watermark you created.
    *Tips for Creating High-Quality Watermarks*
    Use the following guidelines to create high-quality watermarks for your images:
    Â Save your watermark as a .psd (Photoshop) file with a transparent background.
    Â Create multiple sizes of your watermark so that you can select the one that is the best match for the output size of the exported image.
    Note: If a watermark file is larger than the image you want to export, Aperture
    automatically scales the watermark down to fit the image. (Aperture does not scale watermarks up.)
    Â After you create a watermark, save it as part of an export preset so you can reuse it as often as you need.

  • How to make text stop wrapping around an image?

    Hello:
    I am using RoboHelp HTML 10 on Windows 7, generating PDF and webhelp.
    My project includes some images with text wrapping to the right of the image. I would like to allow a certain amount of the text to appear next to the image, then force the wrapping to stop at a specific sentence. I want the next paragraph to be aligned with the left margin instead of continuing to wrap around the image.
    This is the effect I want:
    I want paragraph A to appear next to the image, and paragaph B to be aligned with the left edge of the topic. It is OK for there to be some white space below paragraph A.
    Is there a way to make this happen?
    Regards,
    Juliette Curtis

    Thanks for the quick reply Peter.
    I was able to create an image style that makes the text wrap to the right of the image. However, I can't work out how to make the text stop wrapping in a specific place. This image shows what is happening:
    I want to allow paragraph A to appear to the right of the image and force B to appear below the image, as shown in the first image. The problem is that I don't know how to make B do what I want. Is there a way to do this?
    Thanks again for your help.
    Regards,
    Juliette
