    Couldn’t open this one on my iPad. The last two by Elizabeth were a problem. The others are OK.

    NOTE: I can open OK on my desktop computer. Problem is only with the iPad.

    Thanks,
    Lee

      This is great but my images are not square. Even adjusting I can’t seem to make it fit properly. Isn’t there a way to make border with the eraers tool. I was sure I saw that somewhere.
      Thanks Lee Ann

    Looks good. I am going to give it a run on a few of my photos that would benefit from a border. Thanks Elizabeth

    Thank-you this was wonderful. I think I have a problem with my photo size…it isn’t square, but if I reduced the % to 63% which was almost perfect, except the right side of the frame was in too far left about an inch, creating the window frame effect. If I increase the %, I can make the right side fit, but then the bottom frame drops out. Please help, I know I’m missing something.
