Adding Borders to Images

Use the Add Borders command to add a colored frame around an image. The border increases the dimensions of the image by the width of the border.

For multi-layer images, Paint Shop Pro prompts you to flatten the image first. To add colored borders without flattening an image, use the Canvas Size command instead; see Changing Canvas Size.

To add borders:

  1. Choose Image > Add Borders to open the Add Borders dialog.

  2. Mark the Symmetric check box to create an equal width border on all sides. Clear the check box to enter each border width independently.

  3. In the Size in pixels group box, select the dimensions of the border.

Note: To change the dimensions from pixels, select the units in the drop-down list in the Original Dimensions group box.

  1. Click the Color box to choose the color for the border. Note: Right-click the color box to pick from the Recent Colors dialog.

  2. Click OK.
