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.

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

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.

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 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 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 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

HT1296 how to add new photos without deleting the existing photos in ipad

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to add new photos/PDF books from my PC to iPad without deleting the exsting data in iPad?

Hello AJ2349
If it is prompting you that it will replace the data on your iPhone, then that is typically the result of syncing with a different computer. The only way you can bypass that is to replace the media on your device and then sync. Now it will only replace items that would be considered purchased items like music, movies, TV shows and Apps and would not delete any pictures from your iPhone. Alternatively you can setup a Shared Photo Stream and then add the Photos there without syncing your iPhone with your computer. Check out the articles below for more information.

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.

How to Create a consistent Gradient w/ Soft Edge & Filter

Hello, Im using photoshop 6, and Im trying to apply an effect for a banner photo, that will be consistent for other banner photos of the same size.
I've attached a photo of this.
As you can see the gradient (which contains the text) starts with a grey color then transitions to white. The right edge that meets the blue sky isnt a hard edge but rather a soft edge.
Im not sure how to create that soft edge. Someone else had mentioned to use the gradient with colors from grey to white then to transparent to create that soft right edge. Im not sure how to set that up.
I used a brush in this case, and as you can see, the line is uneven.
Also I believe the Filter used here is Ripple or Ocean Ripple.
I was hoping if someone could walk me through what the correct steps would be to create that effect, so that I can use this consistently for several photos

Oh, I see, PS 6. The parts here about Fill Layers and Layer Styles won't apply, but the editing method is the same:
First, open the Gradient Editor by clicking on the Gradient in the Option Bar or the dialog for a Gradient Fill Layer:
Set up a Gray-to-White Gradient, and add a transparent stop just pas the White stop:
Enter a name, and click on "New" to save it. You can also save as part of a Layer Style with Gradient Overlay.

How to Add Stroke (Border)?

I imported a bunch of bmps to the timelime. I'd like to add a white border to some of them. In Photoshop, this is called a "Stroke" and it's a simple layer style. In Premiere Pro CS3, I can't even figure out how to do it.

The clip effect was indeed handy.
Heres a filter that will do what you want:
1. Size your photo however you like with motion/scale settings
2. Drop the Radial Shadow filter on the clip (perspective folder)
3. Set the filter thusly:
Shadow color as desired
Opacity 100%
Projection Dim: start with 7; adjust to make border width as desired
Softness: start with 0 or adjust as desired
Render: as desired
Shadow only unchecked
Resize Layer: CHECKED
That will provide a border color of your choice and width and it will adjust as you scale or move the image.
Tip: Set it how you want, then paste the same filter into the same clip again and change the 2nd one to a contrasting color. Now you will have a matted photo look. Add a subtle soft drop shadow to sell it a bit more (put the drop shadow after both radial filters).

How to add white border around my Banner?

Hello,
I am trying to add a small border around my banner.
I tried to code it in but it didnt seem to work. Not sure why?
So i added just without the border.
Any thoughts?
Thank you!
Ivan
Here is the URL - http://www.the-electronic-cigarette.net

Your header is defined as an id in style.css
So, in your CSS:
#branding {
          background: #ffffff url(images/sky.png) top left repeat-x;
          margin-bottom: -20px;
Change to:
#branding {
          border-color: fff;
border-width: 3px;
          margin-bottom: -20px;
That will create a 3 pixel border around the div.

How to add cover sheet without affecting page numbering?

No replies yet, so perhaps I should change the question to "Can one add a new section break at the beginning of a document?"
Or "How do you apply a section break on a Master Page so that when the Master Page is added at the beginning of a document, it does not change the numbering of the pages that follow?"
Thanks very much for any help!
[ORIGINAL QUESTION: Is it possible to add a cover sheet to an InDesign document without affecting the existing page numbering? I have a series of chapters from a book that need to be posted individually and require a cover sheet. Each chapter begins on a recto page and the page numbering is set with a prefix (the chapter number) and page number, e.g., page 1.1. I can manage to add the cover sheet without the other pages shuffling, but the cover page always becomes page 1.1 and the text thus begins on page 1.2 (even though it's a recto page). Is there any way to do this without having to manually reset all the page numbering in the Numbering & Section Options window?
Thanks for any help you can give---many such documents to work on.... Also, never submitted a question before, so hope I've done this correctly! ---JCI]
Message was edited by: J Shee

There are really two things to consider here. First is that page numbering normally controls which side of the spine a page is on (and switching sides can cause all sorts of problems if you have master text frames). Second is preseving the existing numbering.
It's no problem to reset the numbering by starting a new section after you add the new page to the front of the file, but if this is a facing pages file you will want to add two pages to start so the rest of the doc doesn't switch sides, then start a new section and reset the start number (sorry, no way I know to do this other than manually). Now you can delete one of the pages in the first section and reset the number on the remaining new page to odd or even as appropriate and add your content.
