Solid Border is a powerful plugin for Adobe Photoshop for creating precision borders around images with proportionally-accurate values.
Solid Border provides full horizontal and vertical width adjustment combined with adjustable color intensity. You can enable horizontal and vertical locks for uniform border widths.
Additionally, Solid Border allows you to force an aspect ratio of 1:1 or use the image’s own aspect ratio for horizontal and vertical border thickness. Units can be in percentage or pixels for precise HTML development.
Solid Border supports both 8 bits / channel and 16 bits / channel color modes for professional workflows.
Solid Border takes precision border generation to a whole new level using it’s concise and easy to operate GUI.
Horizontal: This slider controls (in percentage or pixels) the horizontal width of the border. When Lock Vertical to Horizontal is enabled, this also controls the vertical width.
Vertical: This slider controls (in percentage or pixels) the vertical width of the border.
Intensity: This slider controls (in percentage) the intensity of the border.
Lock Vertical to Horizontal: This option locks the vertical slider to the horizontal slider for proportional border widths.
Ignore Aspect Ratio: This option maintains equal horizontal and vertical border widths regardless of the image aspect ratio.
Units: Specifies the width of the border in either percentage or pixel size. This is useful for HTML development.
Color: This color selector specifies the border color.
