Default How to create easy photo borders in GIMP

I hadn't noticed this menu option before until I worked on my recent layout and played with it. It's called "Border" and you'll find it under the "Grow" option on the Select menu.


Some simple instructions as follows:
1. Select photo layer, do Alpha to Selection,
2. Create new transparent layer,
3. Ensure that new layer is selected now, go to Select menu > Border, In pop-up window set border size to your liking,
4. Edit menu > Fill with BG color (default is set to white),
5. Add dropshadow layer if you wish and you are done.
6. To deselect the moving dots, you can do via the Edit menu or a shortcut is Ctrl+Shift+A.

ooh have to try the tut, I've always just grow the image and then delete the middle part... after I download the GIMP Update for version higher than 2.6.4. I think they are already working on version 2.7 or 8..lol. Thank you dear!

This works really slick - but how do you get rid of the moving dotted lines?? Thanks!

Hi there and welcome,
the dotted lines indicate you have made a selection still, to deselect you can do via the Edit menu or a shortcut is Ctrl+Shift+A
I have added a step 6 in my instructions above.

I'm glad you think this is cool,
hugz Mo
