@grant2098 Haha, thanks for the feedback. Several of the vid's I made while I was sick and had a very dry throat/lungs.

Hi.that is a great video. One question. How can I add a frame and or q border to an image? Is there a dedicated plugin for it?

@rafvaldemoro To do fancy or "sloppy" borders, I believe the PhotoFrame software from onOne has a Lightroom plugin. However, it does still export your file out of LR and does its 'transformations' on a TIFF or JPEG (not completely sure on that, I don't use the LR module for this plugin, I tend to use it from Photoshop) The disadvantage is, this makes the image no longer non-destructive RAW which is the whole advantage of using LR to begin with. Their are other ways to do it, but not so fancy.

@rafvaldemoro The "not so fancy" way to do it within Lightroom would be to use the Post Crop Vignette controls and slide the sliders all the way to the left (0 or -100 depending on the slider) which will result in a black (or white depending on the amount setting) border with slightly rounded corners. It's probably not exactly what you are after, but it is a nice effect. This reminds me of the old prints from Kodachrome my mom used to do with 1/4" black borders.

very good instruction video, albeit a bit long-winded...just a thought but when I'm looking for a specific answer to a specific question say, how do i turn on highlight indicators in LR?, and then want to get right back to editing it's a bit much to sit through 9 mins of instruction...just saying...otherwise great video. thanks for taking the time to make it.
