I need to make borders that I can use to even out a photo(s). I thought this was done simply by going into image and canvas or something similar and you would get a display box and you could choose top add dimension and poof there was a border ontop of your photo and you could do this for all sides and if wanted add drop shadows and such for separation.......
I am begining to think dementia is setting in or i am starting to come out of a very lucid but fantasy coma.....as I cannot find it in either PS7 or PSCS nor in the help guides on line for either........:dunno
example.....I have a photo that scanned in at a very odd size overall.....8 x 7.2"......so I want to add 2" to the 8 and .8" to the 7.2 .....the original size has been giveing the printers a fit and also being able to do this will make it so I can digitally matt my photos and have a great place to sign them.......
TIA

I always take the easy road first & look for an action or plug-in.
Thank You ole kava guzzlin pipe smoking green one......but what I just looked at were actions.....I need totoal flexability and I know I did it a few hundered thousnad years ago when PS7 1st came out........hell it might have been PS4 or LE or PS5 as I had access to them all.....and it was as I described...ou could do an even frame or even totally different size and thickness if you want.....I want to do some in Museum style mats....that means I thin side and one really thick side and photo heavy bottom or top depending g on where the thick side is.....
Have I totally cunfuzzed ya yet.....ready for a good dose of KAVA:D
canvas size to what ever you need. Paste the cut selection into a new layer
and adjust accordingly. Add a drop shadow if you want.
Is that what you wanted to do?
could be...but it seems I had a grid that opened up and showed a white square for the photo and then you cliked top, right , bottom or left and added the dimension (that is the dementia may come from:D) you wanted that part of the border to be...if you selected all 4 sides then you'd get an even border of the diemnsion you input......like I said I could be waking from a very lucid fantasy coma......
you had an odd size or might want a drop shadow, I thought this might work
better for you.
I will give it a try......and i do THANK you for the help......
