Permanent outlines around artboards?

im trying to make web banners. I loaded the web banner template which gives me many different Artboards in typical banner sizes.
All my banners need an outline round the edge of the banner. i tried to do it the hard way and drew some rectangles that are the same size as the Artboards, but placing them in exact the right spot doesn't seem to work.
it must be possible to just select an Artboard and give it a permanent outline Can anyone tell me how to do this.
tnx

Select the artboard tool and double click the icon on the tool bar then in the dialog make note of the dimension and the position readings. Or get this info from the control panel.
Now select the marquis too and click in the upper left hand corner of the artboard do not move the cursor just click and it brings u the dialog for the rectangle dimensions enter the dimensions. You should have snap to point and smart guides on that will help you a bit if you are not good with the cursor. Click OK and you should have what you want and I know you want the artboard to convert but it does not and there is no way but this will get you what you want. If the position is different because you are not for some reason accurate enough to make the the click with the marquis cursor accurate you can simple enter the position in the x any field on the control panel and hit return.

    How can I print a booklet without a white outline around the border? I'd like the front page to be covered entirely.

    You either need a borderless printer, or you have to print on oversize paper and trim off the bleed.

  • 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.

  • White outline around images in pdf

    Ok I've searched google for help and have not found any tips. I'm using CS4. I'm creating a document in indesign. I've placed some psd files into the document. In photoshop they are an object with a transparent background.
    Now they look fine when printing and when viewing in indesign. But when i output as a ps from indesign, then take it into distiller it creates a pdf with a white outline around the image. Why is this happening? See attachement. Outline is on the bottom, it's a really thin line.
    I do file print, select adobe pdf 8.0 then i pick the postscript option, then hit print to save the pdf. I've tried changing from CMYK to leave unchanged for color options. Please help!!!

    Try searching for the term stitching. That should give you plenty.
    In short, what you're seeing is the result of your archaic workflow causing the transparency to be flattened. The preferred and recommended method for PDF creation is through direct export, maintaining all transparency in the document.

  • 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.

  • I'm shooting great white screen but when I key out the white background, I have a very thin white outline around my person that I don't know how to soften without loosing some facial opacity. Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    I'm shooting white screen and FINALLY have my lighting, white balance, exposure and focus making a great looking, crispy clip! But when I key out the white background in a short segment, I'm left with a very thin, white outline around my person that I don't know how to soften, without loosing facial opacity. I only tried using the 'Edges' tool. Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    set the wake-on lan on the main computer
    The laptop's too far away from the router to be connected by ethernet. It's all wifi.
    No separate server app on the laptop, it's all samba
    The files are on a windows laptop and a hard drive hooked up to the windows laptop. The windows share server is pants, so I'd need some sort of third party server running. Maybe you weren't suggesting to use Samba to connect to the windows share though?
    I'm glad that you've all understood my ramblings and taken and interest, thanks The way I see it, I can't be the only netbook user these days looking for this kind of convenience, and I certainly won't be once chrome and moblin hit the market.

  • Making a outline around a person in a clip

    I am trying to make a perfect outline around a persons body in a clip and to make a freeze frame of just the person . I know this would be really easy in photo shop. Can anyone help me do this in Fcp or After Effects?
    Stephen....

    You mean something like this, right?
    http://homepage.mac.com/captmench/ZacharyComp264.mov
    Yes, you can do it in AE too... just use your mask pen tool and draw it around the person you want to freeze. There are ways then to freeze frame the image... etc.
    But I did the above in 2 minutes using FCP and Photoshop... you not got?

  • Help! How do I get rid of this annoying outline around text after exporting to a PNG

    I designed a text document in illustrator and it looks great...in illustrator. As soon as I export it to a PNG, an annoying outline around text appears. What do I do?????

    For text or 1-color items you can try the .gif format for sharper edges.
    Try changing the color of your matte to what the colro of the background is. The image will lok bad, unless you put that on top of your background.

  • Spry Tabbed Panel - Dotted outline around selected tab

    Hello there,
    I noticed in Spry Tabbed Panels, once a tab is selected,
    there is a dotted outline around the selected tab (the 'focus').
    How do I hide it? I've seen a similar set up using JQuery which has
    the dotted outline automatically disappear after a tab is selected.
    I've set up a demo at my personal website to illustrate what I'm
    getting at.
    http://www.sgdanielwang.com/spry/tabbed.htm
    Could someone spare a bit of time to have a look and advise
    me?
    Thanks in advance.
    Dan

    Thanks, Arnout.
    Your solution got rid of the dotted focus outline. However
    the problem persists in Internet Explorer. I read at the following
    site:
    http://codylindley.com/Javascript/223/hiding-the-browsers-focus-borders-should-i-shouldnt- i
    that the focus can be hidden using a javascript which looks
    for all <a> element in the HTML file and disables the focus.
    But in the case of the Spry Tabbed Panel, the <a> is actually
    specified in CSS. Is there a CSS 'hack' to make the focus disappear
    in Internet Explorer?
    Rgds,
    Dan

  • Thin Outline Around Pohoshop Text

    If I create text in Photoshop CS2 with a bevel and emboss, or some other looks, I get a thin white outline around the text when viewed inside Motion 2. I've tried importing the PSD file in numerous ways, I tried rasterizing the layer inside Photoshop but it stays the same. I rendered the movie to see if it would still be there - it is.
    Here are some sample photos:

    2) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v515/moreunjustworld/4others/outlines2.jpg
    Thank You
    - Daniel

    You have a problem with alpha type.
    Right click on your layer with text in Motion -> Reveal Source Media.
    The Media tab should appear in Inspector. Change Alpha Type at the top of the list of parameters to Premultiplied-White.
    That's all.

    I was just wondering what do the different color circles mean when I've located my iphone. So far I've seen a green dot with a green bigger outlined circle around it , a gray circle , a gray circle with a gray bigger outline around it , a real big green circle like the whole circle is dark green. I'm mainly just wondering can you tell if they are texting or using the phone at the time or if its on off or on vibrate is that what those different colors mean?

  • Outline around selected TOC items

    WebHelp | RH9
    I've just installed IE9 and when I launch my published WebHelp and select a link in the table of contents, it displays a dotted outline around the selected item. This never happened with IE8, so I was wondering if there's anyway to prevent it? Is it possible to add "outline:none" somewhere in the RoboHelp output (like you would when styling a link in CSS) so that it doesn't appear?
    Many thanks
    Jonathan

    Hi Jonathan,
    Unfortunately, IE proved a harder nut to crack than I imagined. The problem is that IE9 does support the outline css, but the TOC runs in quircks mode so no IE9 goodness there... There is a solution, it's just not as straightforward as I thought. See http://www.wvanweelden.eu/robohelp/modifying_webhelp/remove_outline_in_toc for a step by step guide to get rid of the outline.
    Note: If you'll allow me, I'd like to use your example image on my site. It looks way better than the example image I added
