OMG I hate Photoshop!! I'm trying to add a border to my file so I can print it. I've added a new layer from background to form the border them I'm trying to adjust the canvas size to add additional space around my image. I know what size I want the paper to fit the frame and I know what width I want the image to be but I don't know the height (I want to maintain the aspect ratio so the top/bottom border should be larger than the left/right border). Everytime I adjust the canvas or image size it gets smaller and smaller! What should I do? :thumbsdown:
I want the paper to be 34cm x 16cm. This is 1cm bigger than the aperture of the mount which is 32cm x 14cm. I want a 1.5cm border to the image in the width (making the image 29cm wide) and I'll take the appropriate height that maintains the aspect ratio.
1) Have I done right to create the border using a new 'layer from background'? (I found this advice on Youtube). If not how should I do it?
2) Should I adjust the canvas size first or the image size? It doesn't matter which order I do this in, going back and adjusting the other again seems to shrink things from where I am at that point in time.
Thank you lovely people in advance for your assistance. :thumbsup:
