Border around image.

I have an Image I use for a sig on a local forum but I was wondering if anyone can tell me how I can add a border around my image. Just wanted to make it look a bit done up...



I can open the image in GIMP but have no clue how to tell GIMP to add the border to the image. I just want a nice black border.

Thanks for any help.

WHAT!!!? A black border. Open the image up in any photoshop or art program and add a border.

Its been awhile since I touched GIMP, but one thing that you could do is make a selection box slightly smaller than the original sig. Inverse that selection so that your selection is about the dimensions you would like the border, and fill that selection..perhaps to a new layer. You could probably add whatever effect you want on it to make it look nicer. Or just a simple border like the one in origino's sig would look nice too.

There may even be a plugin for gimp that would make it simpler, try to google one

My question was pretty clear & to the point. May sound simple to you but I don't know how to do this and I have googled this info and nothing shows up. Obviously from my post, I do not use Photoshop but if you could explain where in PS or GIMP this could be created - that would help some what...

I don't see a plugin for gimp and I have yet to mess around with different layers.

Well will you be using the image in an html page?

I would like to use it as a sig but also in an HTML page too...

Well, I'm going to assume that what 613Flavah is going to tell you is, You could put a colored border around your sig using .html coding. Real simple. Then you could change the color quickly and easily anytime.

You're quick OrigiNO_II

Awesome info - Thank you so much all!

also be aware that alot of forums (this one in particular) have disabled html tags for sigs and posting

Back to your original question, in Gimp (I'm currently using v2.2.0), it very easy to add border. Use this menu item:

Script-Fu > Decor > Add Border

I was also looking for something simple like this, but couldn't find an answer easily using Google. Figure somebody might find this useful in the future.
