photoshop help
something very easy, if some1 can tell me.
i have several small images being used as thumbnails.
to each thumbnail, id just like to apply a black border to each side, 2 pixels deep.
once i figure out how to do one, i can automate it and run it on the rest.
for those posts who are completly irelevent, dumb, and make no sense, thanks because i would do the same.
for real help, thanks too, haha.
right click the layer, blending options > stroke
If each thumbnail image is in it's own document/file, you're in luck.
Keystrokes work in Windows.
Open image in Photoshop.
Select all (ctrl+a).
stroke with appropriate color (black), 2 pixels, inside. (alt,e,s)
save.
Repeat as necessary.
The stroke settings will carry over between uses, so you can just automate the select & stroke bits.
hth.

trying to figure it out ...
ok im on the stroke step, lol.
is that filter > brush stroke > x ??
and yes, once i figure it out i will automate it.
i do know how to do that.
Open one image first.
Click on the 'Actions' tab (should be beside History tab).
Click the 'create new action' page icon at the bottom of the panel.
Give your new action a name. It should automatically start recording whatever action you preform on your image.
Do whatever you want to do, like adding a black pixel border.
When you're finished, click the little stop icon at the bottom of the Actions panel.
Now that you have your action set up, just go to File > Automate > Batch.
Select your new action from the dropdown list. Pick your source folder, and your destination folder, and whatever other settings you want.
Run the batch.
Done.

Oh.. if you already know how to automate and just want to add a border..
Right click on your layer. Select 'blending options'.
Your layer style window will pop up.
Select 'Stroke' on the left hand side.
Increase the size and colour to whatever you want.
Change the postition to 'inside'.
Hit OK.
Done.
Oh and I don't think you can apply layer styles to your 'Background' layer. So, you may have to just right click on your Background layer and duplicate it. Then, apply the stroke to the duplicated layer.
base on your posts, i figured this out.
open image.
create new layer.
select all.
right click layer > stroke
- width = 2 px
- color = black
- location = inside
- rest = default
that works perfectly.
now to automation lol.
ok how about this.
what if i want to apply this border to the outside.
if the image is 100x100, applying the border to the inside like i did will make the image 196x196, with the remaining pixels representing the black border.
same image, 100x100, applying the border to the outside will make the image 104x104, but you cant see the border because the canvas is still only 100x100. any help ??
Right.
If you want to apply the border to the outside of your image, just do this:
Image > Canvas Size
Set the new size, in pixels, that you want your image to be. This will increase your canvas size, from the center, and will add a border around it. You can select the colour of the border at the bottom of that window, where it says "Canvas extension color"

After re-reading the thread, I noticed I didn't include where the stroke option is in the menu.
It's Edit > Stroke (I forgot to mention it b/c I just use the keyboard sequence listed).
The above stroke command strokes a selection, so it doesn't necessarily have to be rectangular.
Changing the canvas size seems to be the fastest/easiest option, particularly since you want to add 2px to the outside. Note that the background color will essentially be the border color.
Glad you got it figured out. =)
i posted this same help issue on 2 other forums, both more in the field of "geek help."
this is the only forum that had knowledgable responses and quick.
i didnt doubt it tho, with all the photochopping, i wasnt suprised that the best help was here.
cor, where the dumbasses can actually be smart.
anyway, i figured out to take some original huge DSC camera imgaes and resize a ton of them to 800x600.
i automated that shit and it was great.
then i used your help here and automated to create a thumbnail for each image.
ill come back for more cs2 help, dont forget it.

It takes the fullsized image and 'makes it ready for web' and creates thumbnails and all. |
If you click
File --> Automate --> Web Photo Gallery (I think it is called that in CS2 as well... but I am running CS3 now so it may be named differently) it will do that for you.
All you have to do is upload and then on some page direct a link to the index page of the web photo gallery.
