Juliet, I think our minds have wandered off together. A couple months ago I searched madly and in vain for a thread I thought I recalled on a border DQ. I had thought it was because he inset it with picture beyond and was called for adding an element and was said that if it was at the edge instead it was fine. But apparently I'm crazy too.....

Can I ask what stroking is?


Draw a rectangular selection near, but not at, the edges of your image. Now go to edit>stroke and set the stroke width and color. Presto, you have an "inline" border a small distance from the image edge. That's how this one was made:

Ahhh...I always wondered how that was done! Thanks!


Another way would be to just create a normal solid border on a new layer and then set the Fill = 0% so that it disappears, then under layer styles (i.e. double click the border layer) set the Stroke width, color, etc. You'll get the exact same results but the stroke info is set as a layer style so you can go back and change it any time you want and you don't have to worry about getting it centered since you just start out by making your normal border set to the edges. Also you can play around with the Fill setting to get a darkened edge effect and still keep the transparency.

Note: This method would be legal for DPC Advanced editing challenges, but not for Basic editing ...

I can join you there; I don't remember the names of people I have just met: but I can tell you my phone number from when I was in High School and all my credit card numbers from when I had credit cards, not to mention my old CA drivers license number (M0980587) and the account numbers for half a dozen defunct bank accounts, PLUS I can recite from memory (and expressively!) such things as Yeats's "Sailing to Byzantium" and Gray's "Elegy", and too many others to mention. So why can't I remember names?

Don't worry, Bear, we'll wear nametags. But they'll have to be the sticky kind, cuz I don't think they'd let us have pins in the loonybin.
