Photo border

Hi everyone,
How is this effect done with a photo?
Thanks,
Dennis

In Photoshop by applying actions with borders, drop-shadows and image transform > rotate.

Lightroom Photo Border Bug ?

I have an issue where my Lightroom seems to display images correctly but once it sends them to the printer they get cropped differently. I did some digging around with the numbers and came to the conclusion that this is probably a bug or a feature that is implemented backwards. Basically what seems to create the problem is the "Photo Border" feature. When you add a border the image in Lightroom gets scaled down to compensate and that is what Lightroom displays. When printing however, the image is scaled back up to the size of the frame and the border is now masking it. Here are some images to demonstrate this:
The original Image:
The way Lightroom displays it when the border is added:
The way Lightroom prints it:
What actually goes on (masking instead of scaling to compensate for the border):
Has anyone else run into this or can confirm that they get the same behaviour on their end ?

I'm not in front of my lightroom machine right now to check, but I would expect the display of the software to indicate what will actually be printed. The image is scaled down to conpensate for the border as far as the lightroom display goes, but it's not what the pdf preview before printing or the actual print reflects.

Photo Border in Inches and Cut Lines?

Is there any way to specify a Photo Border in inches rather than points? Or should I simply divide by 72 to convert points to the inches?
Also, when I have Cut Lines selected, this selected area in red between the two images shows up in the print. Is there any way to stop this from happening?

anyone?

Custom package printing - photo border not printing

LR 3 on XP Pro, Epson 2400
I've created a custom print layout with 8 cells. The 'Photo Border' is ticked at 3.0pt and this shows up on layout.
When I print the page all the photos are borderless. Print to file shows no borders either.
Any clues as to why my borders aren't showing up ?
Thanks

Geoff,
Thanks for reply. Are you sure you don't have 'inner stroke' ticked ? Your screenshot of Lightroom appears to show 2 borders, the white one and the dark coloured one. Your print from PS only shows the dark one.
I have an A3 page size with several cells. I have page colour of white ('Page Background Colour' unticked).
If I tick 'Photo Border' (and untick 'Inner stroke') then what I see on screen is each photo surrounded by a white border, with the border deliniated by a black line. When printing to paper or printing to file you cannot 'see' a border, because it's a white border on a white background. The black line that shows on screen doesn't print. If I overlap the photos I can clearly see a white border where one picture sits on top of another.
I am now presuming that the black line is only there to let you know there is a border you can't see and that it's not intended to print. Slightly counterintuative to me.
I suppose what I'm looking for is a frame rather than a border.
Actually now I think about it some more the black line I'm talking about is actually the bondary of the cell itself rather than anything to do with the border.

Adding color to photo border

In the print package (and now custom PP with LR3b), I'd like to have the ability to give the color I want to the photo border (as I can do for the Inner stroke).
By the way, I'd loke to have also the photo border in the "single image" too.

That's the easiest.
Open your full colour image.
Choose the Smart Brush tool I showed in my previous post.
On the Options bar for the tool,
hit the dropdown arrow (1).
Hit the effects dropdown box and choose "Black and White" (2).
Select "Grayscale" (3).
Set your brush to a small size.
Paint over the areas you want to be in Black & White. The brush automatically selects entire areas as you paint.
If it goes too far, set the brush to "minus"
and paint over the excess area to return it to the original colour.
The automatic selection kind of "learns" what you want, so by going back and forth between "plus" and "minus", you'll ultimately get what you want.

Web Module Edit Photo Border Flash Gallery

I am try to edit photo border/frame (color & stroke) in the Web Module.
This is not the thin lined rounded corner border around the whole plate.
Editing the drop shadow would also be nice.
Appreciate any members help.

Replying to myself.... I solved the problem by creating a new User Account in my OS. Solved the Lightroom problem and also a problem with Mini Bridge in Photoshop CS5, where it wouldn't open Bridge.

Flash Web Gallery large photo border erratic behavior

In Lightroom HTML Web Gallery one can define border styles for the displayed photos. I cannot find a similar future in the Flash Gallery however. Is there one??? In any case, the first 6 photos in my Flash Web Gallery appear with a black border around the main large displayed photos. The subsequent photos do not have any border. In either case, it would be nice to have the border appearance consistent and preferably user definable.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi John,
Thanks for that. A bit more digging - preview in browser is fine and export to harddrive then runs in browser OK. I tried HTML gallery and got the same error (No 2 says a file was truncated) so I chucked it all at another server and it seems to be OK. Looks like an ISP problem.
Those unconnected problems were:
Despite repairs I still can't burn to CD, it still says it's been disabled. I don't miss the feature but I like to think my installation is fully functional.
I still seem to have a memory leak in that if I crop,edit and export 46 images as jpg it falls over, very politely - sorry for the inconvenience etc but this is repeatable, yesterday it crashed at 46 and 92 images. I wonder if my 2.3 install was OK and this was behind the second part of my question.

Photo border / shadow problem

On iweb (and until recently on my website - www.megevechalet.co.uk) the pictures had a nice light shadow. iweb still shows the light shadow, but on the website all the photos now have a thick black border. Does anyone know why this might have changed and what i can do to resolve it? I'm absolutely certain I've done nothing on iweb to change it and haven't actually been on iweb for about a month (until today when i checked to see that on iweb the shadow is still showing).
Any help would be gratefully received!
Thanks

Are you using Firefox to view the site and see the black boxes? That's a problem with FF and some other browsers on photos that have had frames, drop shadows, borders or reflections added to it.
There's an easy workaround that removes those black boxes, reduces the number of files needed to render the page and speeds up the loading of the page. Follow the workaround described in this tutorial: #7 - Converting Photos w/Frames, Drop Shadows and/or Reflections into a Single Image File.
It works very well.

Photo border in Library when dimming background

Good evening,
In lightroom 3 I had a border around any photo in loupe view when I dimmed the background using the "L" key (seen only when dimmed). I don't remember ever setting it, it just seemed to come that way. I cannot get this border (which really helped to separate the photo from the background) anymore. I tried all preferences and tried to find this out in Lightroom Help before submitting this question. The border looked like the one you can add in the print module. I notice that when using the "L" key to dim, I also lose the ability to display the information overlay, even when cycling through the "I" key. Am I overlooking a setting or is this just a change to LR4?
Thanks much, Andy (andy8400)

Well... that explains a lot LOL! Thanks much for answering. I can now stop looking for it so your reply is much appreciated. As it turns out, I can sort of duplicate it by turning on Survey ("N" keystroke) for a single photo. Thanks again, Andy

Hp2540 Galaxy S4 and S2 enormous photo border

When printing on same network to hp2540 4x6 photo paper from S2 and S4 phones a half inch+ border is being added to the bottom and right margin. S4 using latest oem kitkat and latest HP plugin. S2 running HP e print app and latest plugin. Border is not shown when previewing the photo on the phone.
This border is not produced when printing same photo from desktop WinXP to hp2540.
I am hoping there is a solution otherwise the printer will have to be returned.
Regards

Hi,
Sorry to hear you are having problems printing. I have seen some border optimiaztion issues with the plugin when printing photos.
I'd recommend that you download the HP e-PRINT app and try this. The e-Print app offers much more flexability in terms of image quality, scaling etc.

Hello, I have installed, uninstalled and re-installed once again PSE plus, . It does not give me access to the frame option under content. Although I have also downloaded the software on my macbook pro, that option is available . Why would I have a problem downloading the entire software with my desktop as opposed to my laptop?
thank you

Hi Jane
There are sometimes problems calling up the template from the media database. Why not design your own? It is possible to make a collage manually in Expert Mode and its quite easy.
Click File >> Open and select all of your photos
That will add them to the project bin
Then select File >> New >> Blank File
Select background color White (or whatever you prefer) and add your width and height for your final image (set resolution 72 for web usage or 240 to 300 for printing) then click OK
In the project bin click your first photo and drag it up into the main window on top of your new background.
Click on the move tool and click in the center of the photo and drag to arrange it where you want on the background - you can hold down the shift key to maintain original proportions whilst dragging the corner handles of the bounding box to get the size you want.
Do the same with the next photo (drag it up into the main window) and use the move tool to position it. Then continue with each image.
Finally Click Layer >>Flatten image and save as jpeg. (Save as PSD if you want to preserve the layers for editing again)
N.B. as you add images they get dropped in the center. So you need to use the move tool to drag them apart. Click in the middle of one and move it around, and then the others until you get them positioned as you want.
When you click again with the move tool a bounding box appears around the image and you can drag out the corner handles to re-size your photos. Hold down the shift key when dragging the corner handle and that will maintain the proportions of the original.
Finally click Layer >>Flatten Image and save your collage - you may then want to use the crop tool to cut away any surplus white canvas, and then re-save.

Full width background photo

want to have photo image to fill window, can't get photo border to turn red when sizing to web frame

Are you snapping to the left and right, or the top and bottom? The elastic width feature only applies to width. To have a full screen image (in both width and height), a browser fill or full screen slideshow can be used.
If you're attempting to snap to left and right and the red highlight is not appearing, are "Smart Guides" turned on in the View menu? The red highlight is actually not anything special about making an item 100% width, per se. It's just the Smart Guide highlight appearing when the object's edge aligns with the edge of the browser window area. If Smart Guides are turns off, there won't be any snapping or highlighting.

Lightroom 2.7 custom photo package printing

When I try to print a custom photo package (multiple 4x6 images) on 16x20 photo paper, the individual prints come out slilghtly different in size relative to the 4x6 format. I am using bordereless printing on a 16" roll (epson 7800) and I snap each pic to pic on the layout. The interior pics print 1/16"oversized of the 4x6 size, the edge pics print undersize by 1/8". When I reduce the number of pics on the layout and leave a gap between each pic on the layout the pics print all oversize by about an 1/8". The lightroom print controls; Photo Border is not checked, Inner Stroke is not checked, Zoom to fill is checked.
My question is- Can lightroom 2.7 print actual 4x6 prints using the custom photo package w/borderless printing? If I layout four 4x6 pics side by side so that the entire width of the 16" paper is used, can I get lightroom and my printer (epson7800) to actually print each borderless photo exactly 4" instead of oversizing the two inner pics and thus shortening the two edge pics due to the oversizing of the two inner pics? Am I missing an adjustment I need to make on the printer properties or the lightroom page setup? Thanks for any help.

You may need to download the package again.

How to create borders for photos in custom books?

I have used a photo as a background for a page. Hence, I want the photos I placed on top of it to have a simple, thin, white border. Is there a way to do this? I am using the stock white photo layout and customizing it because I am going to print through Blurb. Any tips are appreciated.

Hi there,
Underneath the Size & Position settings, there's another settings box called "Photo Border." Set the width, and then click the colour box to change it to white.
Hope that helps,
GT
