Guest Pandii Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 How do you do borders in light room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~*Shell*~ Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 (edited) You can download a plugin to do it - i found it on another forum quite a while ago now. Google "borders in photoshop" and it should be somewhere on the list. I think it was called LR/Mogrify - it does watermarks too. I'm not sure if there's a different want to do it - I export and then open the shot in photoshop because I find that easier.

kja Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 You can also create the border action exactly how you want it in Photoshop, then export that as a droplet to Lightroom. Then when you have done your other Lightroom edits and want to export the file for the web or for printing or whatever, you simply add that droplet from the export menu (where you set your sizes and destination folder and all that good stuff).

tlc Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 (edited) I see you have had a change of heart about lightroom, it is a fab program! I havent figured out how to do borders in lightroom so I do all mine in picnik or photobucket, I find Picnik is easier casue you can then save the image back to your pc at whatever size you like, you can also add text to photos too. heres the link to picnik http://www.picnik.com/app#/home/welcome you can also do other cool stuff with it too, some of the features are unavailable unless you pay. Oh the other thing is why cant you just install LR on the pc that has PS on it or visa versa?? Edited January 5, 2010 by tlc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

becandcharch Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I am not using lightroom, sorry TLC, was trying to help someone else Yeah I have it saved on my desktop where it has been for months. I get too bored and my mind starts to wander. I learn best by being shown so some Youtube tutorials will keep me focused! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pandii Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 (edited) I have it but never use it, thats why I was asking about the borders Edit, sorry TLC I saw you edit, I have no ide why that cant be done, different people o dofferent things for different reasons I guess, could be a school computer, could be not enough room ont eh computer, I dont have any idea Edited January 5, 2010 by Pandii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kja Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Both programs should be on one computer - they're built to go together and you're really being hamstrung by having them separate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~*Shell*~ Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 You could always create the border on one computer, save it to usb and transport it to the other computer. I find photoshop easier to use for things like borders - lightroom I use for simple colour touchups, photoshop I use for "editing". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
