Hi All
Someone please say if this makes sense and whether there is a solution.
Many folk like to put a "frame" around their web images and though not always to my taste I can see some benefit sometimes. Also 'Mikes Framer' gets good crits for doing a good job of it but my dilemma is that I want to print with a border for use when mat mounting (note here that it is possible using Mikes Framer) and most methods I have read of to date are or seem so counter intuitive.
To explain - you have cropped and PPed your image as needed but if you wish create a border for the reason I give above you need to reduce the image area by a required number of pixels before expanding the canvas (as a border) to get back to say the 10x8 inch print size.
The reason I say the above is counter intuitive is that I think the logical way to achieve the end result is to crop the image at print size but leave some 'dead space' that will be occupied by the border, then run an action (or some other automated method) that will make the (white) border and in the instance I am hoping to get a text copyright statement and Title of the image as needed.
In other words IMO it is easier to visualise the 'dead space' needed i.e. not cropped as tight as needed for a borderless print and 'overwrite it' with a set border than having to calculate the reduced size (by pixel count) for the canvas increase method.
I hope that makes sense and that others can comment on & possible offer a solution for the "new" method I describe???
