When you’ve finished editing a photo, you can add polishing touches by
surrounding it with an edge, a border, a mat, or a frame.
Edge Effects
Edge effects alter the outside edge of a photo. For portrait photos, try the soft
edge effect. To draw attention to photos that you post on a Web site, try apply
-
ing one of the highlighted edges.
The photo on the left has highlighted edges applied, which work great for photos on the Web
and in e-mail. The photo on the right has been enhanced with soft edges.

2. On the Effects menu, point to Edges, and then click an edge effect or
border.
3. If available, click a specific edge or border.
4. Follow the instructions on the screen to customize the size or color of the
edge or border.
5. Click Done

Adding Edges, Mats, and Frames
Shrinking a picture
to show the edge
effect
Some edge effects
appear only behind and
outside the picture. So if
your picture reaches the
edge of the canvas, you
might not be able to see
the edge effect when
you print it or save it to
the Web.
To make sure you can
see an edge you’ve
added, make sure the
object is not locked to
the canvas, and then
the press the CTRL key
while you drag in one of
the photo’s corner resize
handles. This will shrink
the photo proportionally
on the canvas, so that
the border lies within the
printable area.
