Rubyjim Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 How to create a white border round the edge of photograph with Affinity Photo? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Probably the easiest way is to make use of the fact that the Crop Tool allows you to enlarge the canvas by dragging the corners of the cropping rectangle outwards. When you apply the crop you'll get white or transparent pixels around the photo, depending on whether or not the 'Transparent Background' option on the Document menu is selected or not. If you like, you can go to the Layer menu and choose 'New Fill Layer' to add a white layer which you can drag below the photo.

rickd Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Or if you don't want to make your document larger. Select your document, go to FX at the bottom of the layers pallet and click on it. Check the box for outline, alignment inside, color white and set width with slider. Need more than max, type it in. Rubyjim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the FX outline BUT get only left, right and bottom border. The left border is wider than the right border no top border? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickd Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Do you have the document selected? Never have seen that! All sides are equal. Another choice is to use the shape rectangle with no fill and a stroke. Adjust the stroke to the same size as the image, or make the image a child of the stroke by dragging the image down and right . Use the transform box to adjust it all. Use this all the time for notecards, etc. All shapes work well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Rubyjim, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Have you cropped the document previously? If so, right-click the image layer in the Layers panel and select Rasterise.... Keep Preserve layer FX checked in the dialog prompt that will appear.
