Shamz -- I ask as many questions of folks as anyone. I keep looking for more photo help but most seem to be scrapbookers but the users here are great and I keep building on my knowledge thanks to them all.

I just thought I'd add something I learned in the past couple days.

For a long time I have added a narrow border with the borders selection as has been suggested. Then I saw a photographer using a border with a thin line inside it. Looked kewl so I had to learn how.

Well, as you know most folks use PS. It was explained to me how to do it in PS so I tried the same technique in DIP 10. Wow!! slow and convoluted.

But it got me to thinking and gave me an understanding of how things work. DIP 10 when it adds a border increases the physical canvas size which is what the PS user was doing manually.

Ok, with that thought I put in my first border all the way thru to done. Opened borders again and added a thin border next to the original border. Great. All the way to done again. Open borders once more and add another border the same color as the first one and I now have a border with a thin line inside it.

You can use preset colors or the color eye drop picker. I use the latter a lot now that I have learned about it too. I have been leary of it as I don't find that I get good results when I use the exposure fix eye dropper. Maybe I don't use it right.

Hope I have been able to contribute something to your enjoyment of the program.
