These are some EPS's that I created to make organic
looking edges on photos. I wanted something that:

    1. wouldn't take up much space on the HD
    2. are scalable to very large sizes easily
    3. didn't require any programming
    4. aren't these enough? Oh, yeah, and look nice.

As this requires loading EPS files, you'll need ImageFX
2.6 or later, or another program that can load EPS's and
save out as bitmaps.

Instructions:
A. Load the picture you want the border onto, and swap
buffers so that it is in the secondary.

B. Load one of the PhotoEdgesXX.eps into ImageFX.
It will ask for a size, you must pick a size based on
an 8x10 inch picture, alter the dpi selected along with
the pixel size for proper results. Select a size so that
it is as close to the size of the picture in the
secondary buffer as possible.

C. Run "Convolve"/"Blur" set to 16 (max).

D. Rotate or scale to match the aspect ratio of the
picture in the other buffer.

E. Run "Composite"/"Absolute Add" at 100%.

That is it, you're done.

Note: These are all set up as Portrait 8x10 inch size,
just rotate them after loading for landscape.

For ease of size selection, cut and paste the following into
your "Default.presets" file. Save a backup first!

4000  5000   1     1    500   500   "8x10: 500dpi"
4800  6000   1     1    600   600   "8x10: 600dpi"

For beginners at this, here is an example of how to size
and rotate the PhotoEdges for a given picture:

A. The picture is going to be printed on 8.5x14 inch
paper, actual print size will be 8x13 inch at 300dpi,
therefore it is 2400x3900 pixel size. Load and transfer
to the secondary button by hitting "j".

B. Load "PhotoEdges01.eps". Select the closest size
selection in pixels from the above list. In this case
that would be 3200x4000 (although the next one down,
2400x3000 would be acceptable). Hit OK.

C. After it is done loading (this may take a while)
Simple Rotate 90 or -90 degrees.

D. Resize/Ignore Aspect to 2400x3900 pixels.

E. Convolve/Blur set to 16.

D. Then run Composite/Absolute Add at 100% and when
it is done you will see your picture appear where-ever
black was before.

And of course run Carl Licke's ARexx scripts "Shadow.ifx"
or "SmearShadow.ifx" with the "Magic Scissors" button
checked for an even cooler look.
