Re: [PRODIG] White Background contact sheets

[Rod Wynne-Powell]

Hi to Simon and Tim.

If you are using Photoshop 7.x there is an improved way to add borders that will fall outside the original image.
Set your background to the colour you require, (in the example question, to Black).
Go to Canvas Size.
Check the 'Relative' box.
Change the Units to points (you can define your border as you wish, but rules are generally defined in point sizes).
Click OK.

Unless your file is massive, and this is unlikely in the scenario described, this does not take all that long, and it could be made an Action, and assigned an Fkey, or if there are several could be batched or even made into a Droplet.

Hope this is useful in other circumstances,

Rod
