This should be a comment to
Bug 118535: Add Border: use percent to designate border size. However I was not able to comment to this bug cause bko complaint about invalid version the report was assignt to (0.8.8). So here is the text of the wish again:

It would be nice to be able to add a border to an image (or group of images in batch mode) with the size specified as a percentage of the image size.  This would provide a consistent looking border to a set of images which are different sizes. 
 


I second this wish, cause in this way one could realy get a consistent look.

However from my understanding, the border size should only be a percentage value in relation to ONE (e.g. the longer) side of a picture - and this value should be applied to both the long and the short side of the image, so that on both sides the borders have the same width.

Related is a second improvement for the plugin. I used the plugin to add a white border to some photos that I have trimmed to an aspect ratio 2:3 before. Unfortuntaly the borders were slightly cut when the images were print. The reason: the plugin puts the borders "around" the images, thus increasing its size slightly and producing an slight aspect ratio missmatch (if you put a 10px border around every edge, then the aspect ratio of a 2:3 landscape format photo gets slightly more in direction to a 2:3.1 format).

To fix this, please put the border "inside" the picture, not extending it but "overwriting" the content of the picture in the border area.

I hope I found the right English words for the problem - maybe this wishes can be taken into consideration when the border plugin is adjusted for digikam 0.9.x 16bit color space.

Thanks in advance!

digikam from trunk: now, "Add Border" image editor tool use percent ratio of image to compute border 
size to add around the image. A new default keyboard shortcut have been add to this tool: Shift+B

==> About _Batch mode_ this is releavant of another plugin from kipi-plugins not digiKam. Please make a new file in the right B.K.O area. Thanks in advance

Comment 3 caulier.gilles 2006-08-18 11:30:36 UTC
Ok, now about aspect ratio preservation, this is my proposal:

1/ I'm not agree to put the border inside the image to preserve original aspect ratio. Typicaly, the workflow of a picture correction is following :

 1=> Aspect Ratio Crop tool using composition rule guide.
 2=> Add border around the cropped image.

If you add the border into the image without change the size, the composition rule used to crop the image will be destroyed.

2/ I'm agree to add a "preserve aspect ratio" checkbox option to tool settings. This is my proposal :

  1=> Continue to add the border using the current implementation (around the original image)
  2=> Adapt the target image size to respect the original aspect ratio.
  3=> Using a white color to fill the background.

digikam from trunk : "Add Border" image editor tool now respect aspect ratio of original image to render the decorative border. There is no new option in tool settings.
