In today's video, I'm going to teach you how to add borders and frames in GIMP, perfect for beginners who are just starting their journey with this powerful editing tool, GIMP. Adding borders and frames can significantly enhance the look of your images, highlighting specific elements, or bringing a finished, polished touch to your work. By following these simple steps, you'll be able to frame your photos like a professional in no time.

To start, open up GIMP. Once you have GIMP up and running, the first thing you need to do is open the photo to which you'd like to add a border. You can do this by simply going to the File menu at the top and selecting 'Open.' Navigate through your folders to find the image you want, click on it, and hit 'Open.' You'll now see your selected photo displayed on the GIMP workspace, ready for editing.

Now, the next step involves finding the right menu to add your border. We're going to head over to the Filters menu. You'll find this in the menu bar at the top. Click on 'Filters,' and a long list of options will appear. Hover over 'Decor,' and then you'll see 'Add Border' pop up. Click on 'Add Border,' as this is the feature we'll be using to create that frame effect around your image.

Once you've selected 'Add Border,' a dialog box will appear. This is where you need to set your border's size and color. The border size is how much of the border you want to be visible around your image. You can input your preferred width in the available fields. A standard width might be good for some images, while others might look better with a thicker or thinner border, depending on your aesthetic preference. Next, you get to choose the color of your border. Click on the color box, which will let you select from a range of colors to match your style. Try different colors to see what complements your image best. Remember, this is your creative expression, so there's no right or wrong answer here.

After you’ve set your desired border size and color, it's time to apply the border to your image. Click 'OK' in the dialog box, and let GIMP do its magic. You should now see the border around your image on the workspace. If you're satisfied with it at this stage, the final thing we need to do is export your newly framed photograph. Go to the File menu again, but this time choose ‘Export As.’ This option allows you to save your edited image to your desired location and preferred file format. Give your file a new name if you wish, choose the location, and click Export. Confirm any additional options, and your image is saved with its beautiful new frame.

And that’s it! You’ve successfully added a border to your image using GIMP. This simple and effective technique can breathe new life into your photos and projects. Thank you for watching, and happy editing!
