Border Around Image Cell?

[ajz]

Lightroom Version

LRc current ver.

Operating System

1. macOS 10.14 Mojave

I am running the latest version of LRc on my iMac. . I would like to add a thin border about 1/4" or so, around my cell image (the photo) - not a border directly abutting and surrounding the cell image. This would provide some white space between the cell image and a thin black line.
I can find no easy way to do this in LRc. i have Photoshop - just in case but thought there might be a way in LR that I am overlooking.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

thanks,

aj

There is a Plug-in that will add borders LR/Mogrify 2 - Add Watermarks, Border and Text Annotions to Images Exported by Adobe Lightroom

Thanks Cletus for the reference - I will look into it. I am producing greeting cards using Red River's Greeting Card ( 7x10) stock - 5x7 cards (family request). RR' templates work well in print mode but there is no way to add a thin line between the edge of the card and the edge of the photo cell to set of the photo better.

Thanks again for the suggestions,

aj

Give some thought to using a Custom Package in the Print module and placing your photo 'over/above' a background that can be your thin black line, or a frame, or any design you can make with Photoshop.
Start with the 'Border/background' image filling the page, and add a smaller cell for the Photo.
You can Export 'As a JPG' from the Print module (+add to catalog) to stay in the Lightroom environment.
eg. A Thin black line with smaller cell for a photo-

You may need to juggle the image Aspect Ratio or cell size for best appearance.

A example using a Frame photo as the 'Border' -

Thanks, another possibility to consider.
