Hi all,
I would like to place images on my web page so that they look a bit different than just placing the image on the page. If you look at http://www.close-upmagician.com/index.html you can see that the photos on the right look like photographs taken with a poloroid camera as they have the white border.

Any ideas how to do this or any other effect that will make the photos look a bit different when on a page?

I have a blending slide show on my index page so would just like a way of making the photos look a bit different/better than just placing them on the page.

Thanks for your time
Darren

Hi Darren,

In SS, you can adjust the border size/color to be whatever you wish (Alt + Q for quick object editor). Secondly, you can choose the rotate tool and make the picture not alligned (off-center like your example page).

Good Luck!

You can do some effects in SS

The white border:
-----------------

Place a white square below the pic
that is bigger then the pic.
Thats all.

The dark shadow
---------------

Place a black square below the above
and play with it's transparency setting
try between 120 and 170.

The rotation
------------

Rotate each individual image
untill you get what you want.


For (1000's) more effects
try my favourite and FREE and very solid
graphics-program:

Photofiltre:

In case of a slideshow you have to prepare your fotos
since they dont sit on the page...but are loaded separately

You could make them how you want (on the ss workarea)
then make a screenshot..cut them to size > save.

Better to use Photofiltre and apply the effects there
(borders,shadows,rotation...etc)
Best to install it and spend an evening playing
and discovering all the effects...it's worth it.

Thanks guys, will have a play around. Any other ideas for any effets i can add to make them not look just like plain photos on a page?

Thanks for your time

You could also put your images in a table. There are a variety of border styles, sizes and colors available -- the usual table effects.
