I don’t understand why you would ask us when it would take you a fraction of the time to search “border” in the PS help index.

lol
resize image and keep image the same size (centering it). for example, if you want a 10pixel boarder on a 100X100 pic… you’d resize it to 110X110.
then just add the color you want
there might be better ways/plugins, but it works

i searched the help but i think the way i was wording the search wasnt right because i kept getting all of these things that were not what i wanted.

set back ground color to back, increase the canvas by 10 pixels in each direction, easiest way to do it
EDIT: or just go to a dealership and take their word on how to do it

yeah i got is using the enlarge canvas thing. for some reason when i searched “border” in help, all it did was tell me how to create borders around things in the picture and create layers out of them, how to move a border (interestingly, it did not tell me how to make one lol) and then a bunch of other irrelevant stuff.

NYspeed seems to exist mainly for a core group of auto enthusiasts in the WNY area.
The take away is that the depth of knowledge for a photography sub-forum on this site is limited compared to a Photoshop or photography only forum.

perfect reason to start one… people can start taking better(more interesting) pictures of their cars if they had more knowledge.

I follow what you’re saying. Sounds like a ‘Post your automotive photography tips/techniques here!!!1’ would be a good start. I’m not saying your idea is stupid, just probably wouldn’t be very fruitful.

HAHA no. im guessing you saw me driving either a black, silver or red one with a cap, or a tan one without a cap? I work at Lakeland Auto as a parts driver and thats what i drive for work. those things are all un-maintained pieces of shit, id never be caught dead driving one of those as a personal vehicle.
