None taken -- it IS a piece of art in itself and not exactly a border in the usual sense, and is intentionally so. This is different than adding a typical border to subtly enhance a photo. Occassionally, I have a photo which through a variety of circumstances acquired an extreme border ... and I post them as fun examples but not as a recommendation for everyday use.

I frequently add solid borders to my photos because my usual camera takes pretty small pictures, and I'd rather fill out the extra print area with a border than upsample the image. I add captions so I don't have to remember when and where the photo was taken.

Sometimes I create a border just to see if something can be done. Back before DPC II (current version), we had some editing rules similar to the Basic ones, barely allowing borders at all. The question arose as to whether a non-rectanglar border or image could be created within those rules ... I ended up with this (at pBase):


If you go to the gallery containing that image, you can see the progression of steps used to create it. If you go to my gallery of bordered images, you'll see a lot of old prints.

The cute kid can take some decent pictures too.

Usually I add border. Depending on the picture it may be more or less delicate. Here, from the very first sight I didn't even try it, because the attitude of most DPCers is pretty obvious. Usually when you print a picture in traditional shop it has a natural white framing - so there should be nothing wrong with it. On the other hand, when one is buying prints the border may disturb the framing, it makes difficult to use passepartout (or whatever the spelling is).

It (as always) depends on the image.
