Michael, make new document that is ten pixels wider and higher than your standard posting size, in white, then drag your layer over from your photo, (hold shift down so it centers), click on the layer with the photo, add stroke of 1 or 2, then with cursor selecting the layer with the photo, double click the layer, add drop shadow. flatten layer.

Michael,

 

I've been using an old Fred Miranda border action...forget which specific option. In the above monkey pic, I first applied a thin 1-2 pixel black border to the pic before using the action against a white background, and left out my usual outer black border.

Yeah, you bet Michael. What ever your picture size is, make a new document that is 10 pixels, or 20 maybe, might have to play with it, wider and higher, then with both docs visable on your monitor, click on the pic and then the layer, hold and drag the layer over your new white doc, but before you let go of the mouse, hold the shift key down. this centers the layers. then your new doc should have two layers, one a white background and another your image. click on your image layer, go up to tool bar and edit/stroke then back to the layer palette and double click, options should come up for layer styles, one bieng drop shadow. then flatten the layer to save as a jpg. cool?

Only if you use "monkey" as a synonym for "anthropoid," which I don't. Kind of like I don't

call mammals "reptiles" even though cladistically, we are. And I am a cladist! (see diss

abstract on UMI if you don't believe me)

 

I never thought I'd have this conversation over on Photo.net, but it's cool to be able to do it.
