Fancy edging border

[Dianne]

Hi folk
Was wondering if anyone could help me with doing a fancy edging around a photo . . .a specific kind
I have Publisher 2002 on XP
What I want is the photo to take on a ripped jagged look with this 'look' being white in colour. Hard to explain
Reason for this is I am trying to do up a resume' for a friends son which has been done by someone else and I am trying to update photo's etc within this. I need to try to match new photos with the borders already on photos that are not to be renewed
Hope this makes sense . . .probably not but thought I'd give this forum a go
Many thanks for any help offered
Dianne

Dianne,

I'm pretty sure you'll need a photo editor to accomplish what you want to
do, if there's another way, I'm not sure what it is. Here's a link to a
tutorial that will show you how to accomplish this using Photoshop Elements,
but you'll probably need to tweak it to suit your needs.

=====================================
I'm thinking you need to prepare the images in
a digital image editing program. The following
example was done using MS Digital Image Pro 9.

I suspect that most advanced image editing
programs have similar options.

If this image had been saved in the .gif format the
edges would be transparent when layered over a
contrasting color. Saved as a .jpg...the background
(canvas) would be visible as a white rectangle
behind the image.

Many thanks john . .this is the type of edging I was looking for.
Wasn't sure if anyone would understand what I mean't. Thanks for your support!

Thanks for all your support folks. Have just recently discovered this forum and am grateful to know it is there.
I eventually found similar to what I was looking for in the 'borders' in another programe I have on system that gave me the type of edging I was looking for . .. 'Photo Impressions 3' which was the software that came with my web cam . . .pays to look around ones own system a little further . .also I have more editing software ordered for digital photo's etc.
Once again . .many thanks
