What is the bevel you are putting around your image?
White inner 5px, outer 10px?
Is it added with an Action?
Please can you share if it is.
Very nice look for here on this forum.
No action, in Photoshop, I simply enlarge the canvas by 80pixels all round (40/side), cmd A, stroke 30, black, my new background is set to white always. Then I add my signature.
The enlarge canvas depends on how much the original image is cropped. It's easy to create an action but the process is so easy I don't bother. Sometimes I get the adding 80 to the canvas size wrong but a simple undo fixes that then reach for the calculator...
You can vary the borders easily enough, sometimes when I have plenty of space I don't crop, then I don't enlarge the canvas either. That's another reason I don't bother with an action.
I think a simple border enhances the image a lot, it provides a balance and makes it look more finished.
