Example for the “Add Border” filter

Obroba dodana


This filter just does what its name says: it adds a border to the image. You can specify the thickness of the border as well as the color. The four sides of the border are colored in different shades, so the image area will appear raised.

The image will be enlarged by the border size, it won't be painted over.

This option makes the border sides to be colored in different shades and thus makes the image to appear raised. The actual color of the respective border side is computed for every color component red, green, and blue[11] from the average Border color as follows (resulting values less than 0 are set to 0, values greater than 255 are set to 255):

  • Top shade = Border color + Delta

  • Right shade = Border color - ½ Delta

  • Bottom shade = Border color - Delta

  • Left shade = Border color + ½ Delta

Delta examples

Add Border filter applied with Delta value 25, then with 75, 125, 175, and 225.


Example: the default color is blue (38,31,207), default delta is 25. So the shades of the borders are: top: (38,31,207) + (25,25,25) = (63,56,232), right: (38,31,207) + (-13,-13,-13) = (25,18,194), etc.
