Staff Dan C Posted October 16, 2019 Staff Share Posted October 16, 2019 Hi Andrew Wood, Welcome to the forums There are many ways of achieving this in Affinity and the method will change depending on the type of object/image/layer you're looking to border, and the type of border you're looking for. Could you please confirm, what are you looking to border? An image, an object, a layer? Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time. Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible. Many thanks!

Andrew Wood Posted October 17, 2019 Author Share Posted October 17, 2019 Please excuse my ignorance but i've never used a forum before! Thanks for your speedy reply. In answer to your question I have an image, typically 5*7 ratio and then I want to put a thin white border around. The proportion of the border will be about 1%. ie if the photo width is 10 inches I'd like a border about 1/10 inch. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now click on the stroke parameters (the long grey line with the red diagonal line through it and select a stroke thickness and align to the inside. You can set the colour of the stroke with the colour block just at the side of the word stroke: You should have a coloured border like this Dan C 1 Quote iMac 27" 2019 Somona 14.3.1, iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...
