Example

Image with Borders

     

To create borders around an image:

1. Make Inside Border
Drop Shadow tab is originally to give shadow effect. However, you can create border applying this feature. As the following picture, choose the far right shadow position which makes the shadow (border in this example) extend in all directions. Set Blur radius at 0 to avoid the border to be blurred. In this example, we enter 3 for Offset to add white border of 3 pixels width. Offset is the distance that the border will extend from the edges of the image, in pixels.

After making the inside border, save the image.

2. Make Outside Border
Select saved image and reselect [Image > Insert > Image Effect]. This time, choose Drop Shadow to make an outside border. Select the same Position and adjust Offset and Blur radius to the appropriate levels.
