Not sure if this should go here or in the 'guides' section. If i've got it wrong please move this thread...

I was just wondering if anyone could tell me how to make a decent border for my pics using gimp (just got my first DSLR and have no photo editing kit yet).

Cheers

This option can be accesed on the image menu (right button click on the image), by going to <Image> Edit -> Stroke Selection.
 
What kind of border are you trying to make? If it's a simple single colour border, then go to right click -> Image -> Canvas Size -> change the canvas size to match the desired proportions -> click Center -> click Resize -> set the background to desired background colour -> right click -> flatten image.

If it's something different, e.g. like this:



then it's similar, you have to set the width and height of canvas independently, though.
 
Ok, I've got as far as resizing the image. At the moment the image is surrounded by a checkered border.

Being a total noob though I can't work out how you change the colour of that part :thinking:

Can anyone help me?
