Heaven Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Dear friendsI like to set a small white frame around my pictures when I prepare them for PTE. But now that version 5 is coming and is offering us the possibility of zooming, I would like to know if there is a possibility to set a frame that doesn't disappear when the picture is zoomed. It's not nice to have some pictures in a show with a frame and the zoomed ones without. I was thinking of a transparent picture overlayed to the zoomed one, but don't find neither the way how to create it in Photoshop nor to use it in PTE.I'm wondering if there is a solution!Yours sincerelyMarkus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alrobin Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Markus,You can also prepare a frame in photoshop, erase the centre portion, save it as a "png" file, open it on the lowest level in O&A, separate from all other objects, and then bring it to the front so it will always cover all of the other objects, including the main image.

Stevie Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 I was thinking about this as well. I like to add a keyline around my images and with the previous version of PTE this worked well as the images were a constant size. Now with the zoom and pan feature when you zoon an image the keyline (if applied in photoshop) gets thicker or smaller when you zoom in or out. Maybe Igor could add a keyline option alongside the drop shadow option in O&A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
