    How do I get exact border around photo?

    How do I get exact border around photo?-samplephoto.jpg

    Hello I am glad I found this forum.
    I want to get my photo to print with an border that is exact around the entire photo. The one's I am printing are not. The border on top and bottom of the photo are thicker than the border on the right and left. And the photo is not centered. I need it to be exact all the way around.

    I am using Adobe Photoshop CS5.5 on an iMac OS X Lion computer. My printer is an Epson 1400. Can anyone help me with this? Do you think I should import it to InDesign instead?

    I would appreciate your help.
    Thank you.

    load up your image in photoshop then go to image > canvas size check the relative box and enter the measurement of your border and then all you have to do is select if it be transparant black or white or even choose a custom colour.

    Sometimes the simplest solution is the best.

    Oh I mis read it resize your image to the paper size and then do what I previously suggested and the apply a 6 x 4 crop to the which is what I am assuming your paper size is

    Make your own border part of the image then print it as borderless.

    It's because the image height/width ratio is different compared to your actual medium.
