Nelli Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Morning all In that other photo editing program I was able to add a graduated (terminology?) border to an image. ie started from white and gradually darkened to black as in the 1st image below. I can't seem to be able to do this in Affinity Photo. Is it actually possible? I've searched through a lot of posts on borders and watched countless videos to no avail. I can do a two step border as in the second image. I suppose that I could do more steps but that becomes quite labour intensive. Is the only real option to create a reusable template like film strips posted by v_kyr ? Thanks Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 You can do it by using an ‘Outline’ layer effect with a Contour fill style, as detailed in the post linked below.

v_kyr Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 You can try to apply some things from the effects panel, like a custom 3D effect etc., as borders to your images. Or place some rect behind which you tweak the way to look at it's boundaries as you want, via gradient flows or whatever.
