{Tutorial} How To Create Your Sales Page Image With Borders

The Program I am using is G.I.M.P. Link to Gimp

I want to start by saying you do not have to follow this tutorial if you
Do not want to add borders
Uploading your images after you have created them, as shown in the Tutorial
Above is perfectly fine. I am just showing how I create my own as an example.

Adding your own creativeness is what will make your products memorable
To your buyer.

STEP 1:
Is to open your Image
Select the file tab in the GIMP Menu
Select Open and find your Image in your Pictures Folder or
Where ever you saved it.

STEP 2:
Is to select the Filters Tab from your Image Menu
Select Décor / add border

A new box will open here you will adjust the size of your border
And the color you want
When you click on the color it will open a new box with all colors to choose from.

Once you have chosen you color select ok
Now your size and color will appear in the first box add borders opened.
If it is the way you want select ok.

Step 3:
I add two borders to mine here is my second border box.
Notice I have changed the size of the border
And the color.

Step 4:
Is to Open the File box in GIMP Menu and Save AS
I save my images as PNG to save the image from distortion.
