Simple image adjustment

Post by butch »

I have a rectangular screen grab (Windows application) that I would like to simply round the corners and add a border. The image is not a photograph, but since I have Paint Shop Pro X3 and like how it works, I thought I would try it . I have spent some time trying to do this with Paint Shop Pro X3 with no luck. None of the pre-defined frames seemed to do what I need. I would also like to create a drop-shadow behind the image. Can someone please help? Please point me to a tutorial on how to do this or a video that I can watch. A list of steps would also be OK. Thanks!

There was a forum topic on this very thing but I didn't feel like looking for it. Instead you have this video.

One thing - it's very important that the rectangle have the "Fill" color turned on before you use "Selections->From Vector Object" because it uses the opaque areas of the vector to determine the selection area. Without the fill it would only select the border.
