Frame for photo

   Eric Cauncaposted 2 years ago

   What is the best color (and thickness) that can I use as a frame for a photo in which the white portion of the photo appears invisible due to the white background? (There's no frame for photo at discover.com)

      Eric, your articles are initially written on Hubpages.com. The photo capsule has a few options within it when you upload your pictures. They are on the top left of the upload area.

         Hi, Shauna. I've published a new article and I added a frame on the photos while it still at HP. However, when it has been moved to discover.com, the frame disappeared and I think the frame doesn't work at discover. Thanks

   Hi Eric,
   You can do it from here. The color of the frame will be light gray as in the photo below
   
   
   
   
   
   
   Hope it will help you. Best of Luck!!

   Or are you trying to say the frame is not visible on discover?
   I just noticed it's not visible to me as well

         I would like to use an editing app to add a frame to the photo. What color can I use as a frame?

            I think you should use light grey as Eugene recommended

   Maybe just use a faint, grey hairline outline like what surrounds comments on this page? Most, other than very basic image manipulation applications will let you vary weight and colour of rectangles. If you're dealing with flags, you could put them on a slightly greyed background so the boundary of the white parts is apparent.

         Maybe even slightly darker grey. I just picked that shade at random.

                     Looks ok on the Canadian flag, but a bit odd on the Estonian one.

                  On second thoughts, I think the grey background looks better, otherwise it seems that the outline is part of the flag.

   Another option is a diffuse drop shadow. I'll do a mockup today if I get a chance.

         It looks fine but I think the white section of the flag looks more like light grey. It should look white

         No, a shadow on the right and bottom side. Lighter and more diffuse than the shadow in the image below.
