White Border with Text

[waffles]

I have a client that wants their photos to have a white border around the image with some sort of text on the white portion.

I know I can change the image size to 4x6 and then the canvas size to 5x7 in Photoshop and be done with it. But I'm thinking there has to be a better way to do it. Problem is I can't think of what that better way would be.

Any ideas?

An adobe 8bf plugin? im sure theres a free one or creating borders and frames. google may help you find it

What about using Stroke? Get the rectangular Marqee tool, put it around your image and then go to edit stroke, pick your color, width and location (outside) and then the text tool to write whatever they want. Just a thought...

Just expand your canvas ensuring your background colour is white. You could record it as an action if you have lots to do.

Hi,

I know that you are using Photoshop but just to add opensource software, try Gimp with Line Border plug-in and you will get what you want.

Click on the link HERE and check if this is what you want.
