How Do You Add Frames Around Pictures

I'm using Zenfoilo to upload pictures to this site and want to add frames around the photos. How is this done?

 

Thanks,

[Bo_Lorentzen]

Hello Carlos,

 

The frames you see in some postings are added in photoshop using one of several frames packages (OR manually naturally)

 

You need to add the frames before uploading to zenfolio.com

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

Thanks Bo,

 

I'm learning Aperture and hope it can do it.

I make mine in CS3 by first putting a black stroke around the image, then placing a canvas of 100 pixels more than the image size in each dimension. I also type in my name and copyright with date.

I like that but I only have Aperture and iPhoto. I haven't found anything like that in Aperture or iPhoto.

You might be able to download a Plug-in for Aperture, but sometimes, only Photoshop will do...

She's certainly had a lot of money spent on her... she's 78

Well, at the risk of offending someone's daughter or wife, I think she looks terrible

Thanks to whomever moved my thread here. I've never looked here before and glad to know what it's about.

 

I think that photo must be enhanced for fun, isn't it?

 

Thanks again,

I wondered if you could do a frame in Lightroom... and Voila you can...

 

In the Print Module create the frame and label... adjust the image on the "canvas" and then under print job tab select jpeg... and print to a file.

Todd,

 

What you actually did (if I understand it ) is first add a stroke border (black) and than print to a certain paper size. Which means that for any other crop, you'd have to set up a new paper size.

 

In LR I'd either use CS3 or (as I'm doing lately) use "mogrify".

 

Carlos: there is a tool for Aperture also: border FX. Aperture BorderFX Plugin

Marcos, what is "mogrify"?

[Marquinius]

Todd,

 

It's basically an export plugin you can setup in LR2 (there is a version for LR1.3 as well). So you do all your things in LR and leave the picture intact (without a frame). Then you export it and in that process, you can let mogrify add a border. Takes a little fiddling to get it right, but is pretty straightforward. You can do sveral things in one go: read the instructions.

 

You can get the standalone version, but when you're working with LR2, that's cumbersome. Here's a link to the LR-pluging: Timothy Armes' LR2/Mogrify

Fantastic!

 

Thanks Marco

Call me thick, but I couldn't do this in LR2. What do you exactly adjust in the Print module, to create the white frame around the picture? Paper size to JPEG doesn't do it. Or, I couldn't get it to do it.

Ece,

 

I wouldn't call you thick: sometimes things work and sometimes you just don't get it. That's what this forum is all about, isn't it?

 

I tried it just now (had to fiddle, as I don't use this method myself ):

- took a picture from file (was working on this one ..)

- went to print module in LR2

- clicked stroke border

- took preformatted print size 6x4 (I use for test prints)

- clicked on "print to" and changed to jpeg file

- saved it

- attached it to this answer

 

Now you'd have to make a paper size that fits exactly to what you want to achieve as a frame. In my example it is just a fast example, but obiously not a nice frame. In I have the feeling I lost a lot of quality pixel-wise. Again, not my fav!

 

I suggest you have a look at mogrify ...

There a cool plug-in for Photoshop called PhotoFrame 4, has a large library of different frames but you can also make your own custom ones and save them as presets.

I think she was enhanced before that photo was taken...
