Frank....are you faking the film borders? They look exactly alike on all three of the images you've posted here....???
Yes I have always "faked" the film borders, they aren't even the correct scale. You think I could crop in a handheld rangefinder camera that well?!
I just like using borders of some kind because I tend to blow out skies and highlights and I hate it when pictures sort of flow out of their frame....
No it's not automated. I keep a file and I even erase a little in the upper right like a real film holder would fade a little up there. I used a real border to start with but ended up drawing it with the Pen tool and working on the edges here and there.
I guess that makes me guilty of something.
We are all guilty of something (more or less ;-)
But, I appreciate your "technique", it remaind me ths big "cordon bleu chef" when they arrange food on dishes or plates.
Photographes are visual food, why not dress the borders nicely ?
Borders are part of the visual experience....
