Editor - Derek Godridge and the team: PCC News :
Our KF2 results show was very well supported last night along with a couple of new faces including Lizzie who decided to join us as a member, so welcome and hopefully you will enjoy our friendly band of photographers!
In terms of results, we had a wide-ranging variety of winners as shown below. All of the entries are available to view on our website here: https://www.penryncameraclub.co.uk/team/2023-1-ken-farnell-2
Placing a Stroke Around Your Image
Last night Judge Richard reminded us that (especially when you have a dark image) it always displays better with a “Stroke” around the outside so here are the steps needed to do that.
1) Size the image then go “Select All” and you see the marching ants around the outside of the image
2) Select the Stroke option from the toolbar
3) Change the “Width” to the size stroke you require – 5 is a good starting point but less is sometimes better, you can always change it before you “save” the image
4) From the colour picker box select the colour you want by clicking in the “colour” box( white recommended) and ensure the “centre” option is selected (NOT “outside”).
5) “OK” the select boxes, deselect the selection, review the result and use “save as” to save the edited image by possibly adding a suffix to your image name. e.g. “DSC_1234 stroke”
Hope this helps to improve the way your darker images are displayed!
