3D Image

I have a flat image to which I wish to add a border to make it look 3d. Please tell me how to do this.
I would like the border to be outside the actual image so that all of the original image is still showing.

We heard you the last time :) Unfortunately these things take time sometime before people answer them.

There are a couple of ways you can make something look 3d, as you say - the easiest is with a drop shadow - cut away the background behind your image, then duplicate the layer, fill the non-transparent bits of the bottom copy with black, gaussian blur it with a decent sized radius and deplace it a few pixels below and to the right.

An example of a drop shadow and some other basic 3d stuff is here: http://mmmaybe.gimp.org/tutorials/The_Basics/

To add a different border, you can use a similar technique with a bump-map, and experiment with textures to get the kind of effect you'd like.

Cheers, Dave.

You might try adding a bevel
Script-fu, Decor, Bevel.

but you did say you wanted it outside the image, so what you really want is probably
Script-fu, Decor, Add Border.

cutting down gif

I have a GIF that is 780 pixels wide and I would like to cut 30 pixels out of the middle to reduce it to 750 wide. What would be the best way to do that?

I am using Gimp for Windows 1.2. on Win98.

Thanks, Matt

Use the rect-select tool to select the right half, pick the selection and move it to the left by 30 pixels, then anchor it. Crop the image when you are done. Autocrop should do a good job here.
