Help With Borders?

So I have someone who needs some images resized, and wants a 4px border added. He wants the images to be 100x72. So, I make the image 96x68, and then I increase the canvas size to 100x72.

Now I'm not a full on photoshop expert, but to me that would seem like by doing what I did above, would create a 4px border. He's telling me that the border is 2px after I finished it. Could use some advice. Thanks guys.

Script For Removing White Borders

Hi forum,

I have a ton of images that I applied a script to increase its canvas size width if they were too narrow. I've changed my mind though, Now I want to get rid of the white area around the sides of these images created from extending the canvas size.

Anyone know how I can do this with a jsx script?

Thanks in advance

Batch Saving To .png W/o Losing Canvas Pixel Dimension

Hi everyone, I introduced myself in a former thread. Name is Katie. I'm not new to Photoshop but am new to the more murky world of saving formats for various uses, printing, etc. I am in grad school, we're between semesters, and of all things they haven't really talked about saving! This week I was freelancing and saving to .JPG and .PNG, multiple images.

Problem:
I edited 150 images of product for a retail website on photoshopCS6. Company requires three sizes: two in .jpg, one in .png. Each image was in its own layer, in a group folder; a drop shadow effect was applied to the whole folder. For ea size requirement, I changed the canvas, resized all images at once to fit within it and ran the script.

I was able to run the Script on PS to batch save the .jpgs, and they RETAINED their canvas pixel dimensions in each image (700x525; 170x170). When I ran the same script to PNG-24, it worked but it DID NOT retain the canvas size and they were all wildly different.

I did some research, and found that people had to install script fixes to do this. I installed Dr. Russell's script for Image Processor Pro that should work in PS and Bridge. I tried it, still didn't work to retain size of PNGs. Am I simply using it wrong? Is that the only way to batch save certain file formats?

Because the images were due this morning, I individually saved every png ("save as" not "web/Devices") to ensure they were all 300x350.

I need to know there's a better way to do this for all other file formats, so I don't have to painstakingly save each image.

Photoshop Frames And Borders

just wondering if anyone knows of a great plugin or action set for frame and border templates or creating your own frames

Possible To Automatically Position Images To Certain Areas?

Long story short...I need a way to quickly drag multiple images to my canvas and put them in certain places without any of them overlapping each other. At the moment, when I select multiple images and drag them onto the canvas, they all sit on top of each other right in the middle until I go to each layer and move to their own space.

Is there a way I can automate the images to go to the correct position? Having to go layer by layer doing that manually takes a lot of time when I have 20+ images per sheet so I'm hoping there is a quicker way. I'm well aware of actions but not sure how I can use that to place images to different parts of the canvas. As far as I know, creating an action will put each image on the same spot of the canvas but hopefully I'm wrong about that and someone can show me the correct way of setting it up.

What Am I Doing Wrong -batch Process.

I have about 700 RAW images I want to batch process through PS.
All I want to do is reduce their size from 5184 X 3456 to 900 X 600 @ a resolution of 150 and save as JPG files.

Since RAW files run through ACR first and there's no way to reduce images size I just run it and end up with full size jpg's.
I run the JPG's again through Bridge and select Tools|Photoshop|Image Processor and selected "Open first image to apply settings" but when I run this there is no pause to reduce the file size.
It just runs through all the images allowing me no option to "Apply Settings".

I realize I can record an action to do this and use Photoshop|Batch but I'd like to know why this isn't working.
Thanks guys.

Something To Be Shown At The Bottom When Exceeds The Top Border

Hi to all
I'm sorry for my not so great title, but I just don't eally know how to call what I want to do...
In general, I want to create a picture that if I were to duplicate it and put it on top of the original, it will "connect" and look like a continuation of the original picture.
This is an example of what I wanna do:

I can't use the same method I've used here to create what I want, 'cause I wanna do it on a more complex picture. Like this:

If such an ability can't be achived then maybe is there a way, that if I'm drawing using the brush tool but there is not enough space for the whole brush to be drawn, it will not be drawn?
That is a background for a video game that I am working on and it is very important to me. So if anyone in here know how I can draw things without them being sliced by the borders on the canvas please help me.
Thanks in advance,
Liav

Confusing Images, I Cannot Tell If They're Real Or Not

Hello! I am new to this forum and signed up for the specific purpose to get expert advice.

I am doing research on a project and was wondering if anyone can tell me if these two images can possibly be manipulated images. I used to work with Photoshop, but it's been over 10 years now. I know the technology has come a long way so its hard to decipher what is real and what is not real. These are screen shots, because I am new, I cannot post a link yet.

Thanks you!

Where Oh Where Do My Placed Images Go?

I am building a composite image, create a new image clean white background and drag from bridge the images I want to use in the composite. Here's my issue...the images I have brought in are automatically turned into smart objects..( love those) so I open one of those placed S/O images and edit/adjust it then save and close...like it should the composite reflects the change. I can open and close that s/o as many times and make tons of changes...again awesome....but I may want to use that same image by itself and want to retain those changes....but when I go to the folder that I took the image from, the original image does not reflect any of those changes.

So my question is, where on my computer does the edited version of the placed image get stored...I'm guessing a temp folder somewhere, but can't find it!! Any body know?

Thanks

Batch Watermarking Images With Different Ppi

Trying to figure out how I can batch watermark images with different PPI.
My current method:
Open Actions:
Create action-Watermark
Record
I open the image I want to watermark, all horizontal/vertical images I place my watermark symbol (.png file) - File - Place Resize the watermark, then vertically and horizontally align. Save End Record

Outcome: I get many images with different sizes of the watermark, this is because the PPI is different I figured out. Now all I'd like to know is how can I get the same size watermark on all images without changing the PPI?
