Framing Photos in ACDSee Pro 2 & ACDSee 10
Sunday, December 9th, 2007 byACDSee Pro 2 & ACDSee 10 can be used to add a white or black border to a photo. If you’d like to get creative & nest the borders, that is possible too. This tutorial shows how to change the color of the border also.
Special thanks to JD for explaining how to do this! I just added the steps here.
This would be much easier in ACDSee Photo Editor. (If you’d like to a tutorial for that, let me know).
1. Click on the thumbnail of the photo that you’d like to put a frame around.
2. Under the Palette icon, Choose Edit Mode
3. Click on Selections on left & the window below opens.
4. Click on Marquee. Make the inside selection. Try to keep it even all around.
5. If you need to do it again, click on Clear & redo it. When satisfied, click on Invert.
6. Click on Done (on bottom left).
7. Click on Exposure.
8a. To make a black border, click on the top right & drag it down the right side to bottom.
8b. To make a white or colored border:
Click on the top right of the line & drag it to the left along the top as shown.
9. Click on Done.
10. On left side, choose Color
11. Under the RGB tab, move the sliders to adjust the color of the border.
12. Click on Done.
Now repeat from Step 3 on to create a black border.
(You can add as many borders as you’d like, just work towards outside.)
When you get to Step 8 use 8a.
Click Done. Click on Finished.
Close window on top right & Save as new file to protect original.
If you use this tutorial, please link to your creative work! I’d love to see it.

Argentina, equestrian wonderland
Tuesday, December 4th, 2007 by TimDecember 1st-3rd
Flying from Calgary, Alberta, Canada to Buenos Aries, Argentina is a big transition at this time of the year. One minute I am wearing long johns underneath my jeans in -15C weather driving through polka dot inspired snow storms in the early morning. where even with Low beam headlights attempting to pierce the depth of the ensuing clouds of swirling white, we could barely see 20 yards in front of us. With Jaws gritted we reach the Airport and wished Debbie’s second in command, Elaine, a better experience in driving back to the ranch. Surprisingly everything was on time at the airport and we embarked on the Continental jet for a 14 hour journey southeast to a land of summer humidity and drastic temperature differences, in stark contrast to the Canadian winter that we had just left.

Sick N Twisted
Saturday, December 1st, 2007 by TimPrior to embarking on this momentous adventure. First to Argentina,(Buenos Aires), then Chile (Torres Del Paine Nat. Park) and finally Antarctica for the final 11 days. I experienced a bit of pre-trip karma, mostly due to my lack of caution with what I was eating during my expedition planning.
