  • Borders - worth the effort?

    I've noticed that a lot of posters seem to add borders / frames to the images they post on the forum and they obviously put a fair bit of effort into the design of same.

    It rarely seems (to me) to make a great deal of difference although there have been a few exceptions where I remember thinking "nice border".

    I'm going to see if I can create a poll now
    10
    Absolutely essential! - I use one for every image
    0.00%
    0
    Important - I use one most of the time
    30.00%
    3
    Sometimes - where it significantly enhances an image
    50.00%
    5
    Waste of space! - never or rarely use them
    20.00%
    2

    The poll is expired.

    Well, that wasn't too hard was it?

      It's important to try a boarder as it will on many occasions add some impact or finish to the image. My method is, apply and try, if it don't do anything worth while remove it.

        Can you add one more choice please!?
        something like: important - will add frames more often when I feel quite at home in doing so ...

              Stuart, I'm presuming that you are only referring to borders on Web images, the sort of thing that would be posted here in the galleries?

                  Hi
                  I agree, try it and see, a border can help to keep the attention within the image, or enhance the visual pleasure (Or not), I know some of mine have been a bit whacky sometimes in the past, but I am on the way to a full recovery now any way I think being normal is a bit boring
