Edge effects Drop

shadow

Adds a drop-shadow to the image that appears to lift it off the page.

The drop shadow appears behind the image, between it and the

border. You can adjust the depth of the blur on the edge of the

shadow, and the transparency of the shadow, which affects how

much of the border shows through the shadow. You can also

change the direction of the imaginary source of light by dragging

the glow on the Light Source ball.

Blur: Adjusts the blur on the edge of the shadow when you

drag the slider.

Opacity: Adjusts the transparency of the drop shadow when

you drag the slider.

Raised Adds a raised edge to the image that appears to raise it above the

border, giving it a 3D look. The raised effect is applied to the image,

between it and the border. You can change the direction of the

imaginary source of light of the raised edge by dragging the glow

on the Light Source ball. You can also adjust the size, strength, and

color of the raised edge in the following ways:

Size: Drag the slider to the right to increase the size of the

raised edge so that it appears higher. The greater the size the

more rounded the effect.

Strength: Drag the slider to the right to increase the 3D effect

of the raised edge.

Colored: Select this option to apply the border color to the

raised edge.

Light Source Activates when you click either the Drop shadow or Raised check boxes. Click and

drag the glow on the ball to reposition the imaginary light source for the 3D effect

of the Drop shadow or Raised edge effects.

Adding your own textures or edges

It is possible to add custom textures and edges to the libraries in the Borders tool. If you make your own edges or textures, or own a

collection from the Internet, you can add them to the texture and edge libraries. You can also delete existing files from the libraries

to make room for others.

The textures or edges have to be in the following file formats with these extensions:

BMP

EMF

GIF

JPG

GIF

PNG

TIF

Textures

The textures are tiled, so they should be images that can be tiled seamlessly. The files are used at their full resolution, not scaled up

or down. For example, if your texture image is 100 x 100 pixels and you are creating a bordered image that is 1000 x 1000 pixels,

then your texture file will be tiled 10 times. If you use a texture file that is 1000 x 1000 pixels, then there would just be the one

texture tile for the whole border.

To add your own textures to the texture library:
