About New Borders
Borders must meet the following criteria:
 File Format: PNG only.
 Orientation: Both horizontal and vertical borders must be loaded for each new border.
 Naming: [name]_o.png where [name] is the name of your border, and o is the border orientation.
 Size: Full size for that print size. For example, a 4x6 border would be 4” x 6” (vertical) and 6” x 4” (horizontal)
 Resolution: 300 dpi.
 Color Mode: RGB only.
 Background: Must have a transparent background - cannot be colored in.
 Compression: No compression allowed. (No LZW, etc.)
In general, the opening in the border should be the same aspect ratio as the overall image (i.e.: 4:6), although the opening
does not have to be strictly rectangular and may have varied edge treatments. Having elements of the border overlap the
image space is acceptable, however keep in mind this may block important parts of your images.
