Quick and easy border action/tutorial for PS

You could do this through the Bridge Image Processor...

This action only works in full Photoshop, right? Or does saving as a psd file then enable the same thing in Elements?

This is for Photoshop, I do not know about Elements but I believe it doesn't work for Elements.

Elements you would have to make 2 separate actions for landscape and portrait, as the fit image script is not available. you need to use Image>Image size.. and record one where you change the height to fit and then record a separate for the width.

you can then export the 2 actions from Photoshop and place them in the correct directory for Elements to recognise the action

Can someone help me? I have been trying to add black color into layer 1, but I am not able to do it. Anyone has an idea? f.y.i I am using cs5

The action really great..Thank you for sharing it thereal7

Edit> Fill> (Shift+F5) select black, hit OK

Maybe you know what's going on. It turn out like the attached pic. I have no idea.

ok, i need a little more information than just the finished picture - the steps you've taken, and a pic of your layers palette would be helpful

I got it... The problem is, I did not set the background to layer 0 and switched correctly. That's why It won't do it. Now, I have to create logo first then do the next step. Anyway, is there any tutorial how to make a logo?

Thank you so much for you help Bobster. I really appreciate it.

DING DING!!

Sounds like you should have no problem finding someone to design a logo for you. They are all around you

I am going to do it by myself...lol...

18 months later I stumbled onto this thread - thanks Scott .... It works great !

And ive spent years selecting all, filling a new layer and adding a mask. Thankyou, i feel very stupid but pleased to have found this!
