Many people add borders to their images, since they make the image look better and stand out unique. '''digiKam''' makes this very easy and simple!‎

Edit

There are two ways to apply image borders in '''digiKam'''‎

Edit

== Method 1 (Single photo) ==‎

Edit

Select the photo that you want to apply a border to and click <keycap>F4</keycap> on the keyboard. This will take you to the editor view. From there select <menuchoice>Decorate -> Add Border</menuchoice>.‎

Edit

You will be presented with many options.‎

Edit

One option is the <menuchoice>Solid</menuchoice> color. This option let you choose the color, that you want with [[Special:myLanguage/KColorChooser|KColorChooser]].‎

== Method 2 (Batch update) ==‎

Edit

Method 1 is very useful when to test the feature and try to get a border that really suits your needs. However if you have many images that you want to apply borders to, then the batch queue manager would be the best option. Select all the images that you want to apply borders and click <keycap>Ctrl + B</keycap> on the keyboard and the Batch Queue Manager appears.‎

Edit

Drag and Drop the <menuchoice>Add Border</menuchoice> tool to the list of assigned tools and set your preferences select a target folder then click <menuchoice>Run</menuchoice> (<keycap>Ctrl + P</keycap>).‎
