| Here is a simple tutorial on a
Fireworks image effect technique. You might have seen or might have
thought about creating a border around an image, and to make it
little more catchy. There are many ways to do that but here, let
us learn just two simple methods.
Requirements: Fireworks MX, an image and few minutes
of time.
Method I:
1. Open the image in which you want to add a border

2. Select the image first; In the Properties section
select Effects >Shadow and Glow > Inner Glow
3. Set the properties for the inner glow effect as below,

You get the following effect which you want,

4. Here I have made another image with a drop
shadow effect, which will give you a photo in a Photo album effect.

I have set the color as white, since the image is of dark colors.
Now try it. :-)
Method II
1. Open a new image, set the canvas color black
( Or the border color which want to be around the image). I have
selected the image size as 2 pixels more then the picture size.
In my case this is 102 X 153 in my case.

2. Import the picture by File > Import, this
image size is 100 X 151, Place the image at the exact center of
the image.
Now, :-) , You get the border. The Final Image
is here,


There are many other methods, write to me at
if you have some better ones. I can add them here with credits.
