quantz Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Good afternoon, It's strange no one answers my question on this forum. Maybe someone sees my topic here and answers my simple question. I want to make a frame around my picture like this http://www.plantennamen.info/beekpunge-veronica-beccabunga In the passed I used Photoshop. I just resized my picture and made the canvas 5 px bigger. Because the Photoshop app of Apple was a big mistake I am thinking of buying this beautiful program. But only if I can make a simple frame.

Staff MEB Posted February 16, 2015 Staff Share Posted February 16, 2015 Hello quantz, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Sorry about the delay replying to you. Here's a quick way to do it: - Create a new layer (it will be used to fill with the colour you want for the frame) - go to Document -> Resize Canvas... and add the value you want for the frame size to both fields (for example 50px to both width and weight which translates in 25px around the image) - currently you have to press Enter for Affinity to accept the values - set both Anchor values to Middle and press Resize - fill the layer you just created with the colour you want If you just want to add a thin line around the image: Select the image layer in the Layers panel a give it a stroke with the width you want. You may also want to align the stroke to Outside from the Stroke width panel so it doesn't cover the image.
