Guys, I have recently developed the habit of adding boarders to the pics I've taken:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/alan-miah/

Can someone tell me if it is possible to remove the boarders? Are there any software that do this or do I basically have to edit the pics all over again?
 
You can do it very easy in PS. Either re-size or crop, done in seconds.
 
I forgot about crop. Though cropping would eat away a few mm of the pic :D
 
You could use a simple script...

Code: 
if(documents.length){
//Enter the width of the border pixels
var pixelWidth = 10;
var startRulerUnits = preferences.rulerUnits;
preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;
	var doc =app.activeDocument;
	doc.resizeCanvas(doc.width.value-(pixelWidth*2), doc.height.value-(pixelWidth*2), AnchorPosition.MIDDLECENTER);
app.preferences.rulerUnits = startRulerUnits;
}
 
Thanks, Paul.

But scripts/programming is like pythagorean theorem to me. I dont have a clue what to do or how to use them!

Is this what you use in Flickr?
 
No it's a Photoshop Script that just resizes the canvas by a given amount.

To run the script, save the code using a text editor or better still ExtendScript Toolkit (This is installed at the same time as Photoshop)
The file would normally be save as FileName.js or FileName.jsx (CS2/3/4)
Save in the relevant folder...
PC:- C:/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS#/Presets/Scripts/
Mac:- [hard drive]/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS#/Presets/Scripts/
If you have Photoshop open, close and re-start it, it will then pick up the new script.
To run the script from Photoshop:-
File - Scripts and select the script.
You could always create an action to call the script as well.
 
Got a problem, though.

I copied and pasted the script. saved it using the toolkit. re-started photoshop.

Opened a pic up. went to script. opened the saved script file but get the following error message:

no matching closing brace found. line 1 -> if(documents.length){
 
That Demonstration photo makes me laugh a bit. Not note that woman also abuse men, just men should stop abusing woman. If you want a quick simple way to get rid of the borders, as has been said just crop it. But I quite like borders like that.
 
The bracket is there, you must not have copied the last line, that is the matching bracket }
 
i know you dont want to loose any mm's but you will have no option..

all you have to do is create a Action in photoshop then a droplet then it will do ALL the images at once for you.. do a simple search for creating actions then creating droplets and you'll have all your images done in one button press
