Border plugin that adds instead of covering?

[PedgeJameson]

Hi there guys, is there a border plugin that adds to the outside instead of throwing border over the picture?

As in outlining it?

Plugins cannot extend the size of the canvas. They are forced to work entirely within the current canvas bounds.

The usual work-around is to make your canvas larger by a percentage amount (Image > Resize...) and anchor the original to the center of the enlarged size. An enlargement of say 110% will give you 5% wide strips around the image where you can create your frame.

Well that was easy TY.

To make it even quicker, if you want a solid color, you can choose a color as secondary and Paint.NET will fill the new area with that color on the "background" layer.
