Add a border to a photo or image
Sometimes a plain photo or image is rather boring and makes no impact at all. Just by adding a border to a photo or image gives it a complete lift and adds a new dimension.
Add a border using Gimp
Here are some examples of borders using a free photo/image editor like Gimp. These require no technical skills, just a few simple mouse clicks hence easy to use by anyone.
For this example I have chosen a photo of a dragonfly, caught firmly on my washing. As you can see it is a plain photo, just catching the moment.
Dragonfly
Opening the Gimp editor I opened the image I want to use and then selected ‘Filter’ and then selected ‘Decor’. By using the ‘Add a Border’ and making a few adjustments this changed the dimension of the photo.
Dragonfly with border
Re-using this new image of the dragonfly with a border I again selected ‘Border’ and created a green border around it. A border within a border.

The more you experiment with the editor the easier it gets. Heres another example of just playing around with the editor.
