Border effect

[Maarten11]

Good evening,

Can anyone help me. I want to insert a border effect round my photos (a border from a few white pixels around a photo). But there must something chanced in V2 so I cant't find but I can't find the tab 'effects' so I can't use the 'outline' tab (see screenshot from V1)

In AP V2, the panel has been renamed "Quick FX" & can be enabled from the Windows menu.

@Pšenda's first link is the same as mine except for the language (UK English vs. US English). There are other languages selectable at the bottom of the page if needed.

In addition to the possibility of switching the language, it would be advisable to also enable the switching of the type of OS for which Help is intended (changing the description of key modifiers, possibly also changing the description of functionality). Currently, the switch is made automatically according to the detection of the OS of the browser, which, however, does not work when viewing from mobile devices (typically Android) - it switches to MacOS, which certainly does not suit many users.

That would be useful even for someone like myself that does not use Windows but would like to know what the differences are for a number of reasons I don't need to go into here.

That said, I would prefer that each topic include the relevant details for both Mac & Windows versions to eliminate the need to switch back & forth to see what is & isn't the same on both platforms.
