Hi there, 

I can't figure out how to add a white border to a photo. I'm using Lightroom v3.3 (not Lightroom Classic), and have tried using the Scale slider in Geometry, but because I've cropped and used the vertical and horizontal distortion edits, it doesn't work. Is there a way to add a white border to a photo that's already been cropped? Thank you!

TBMK It is not possible in v3.3.

You will need to Export the image and add the extra pixel border to the exported image with other software.

There are free programs that will add borders-

eg. https://www.xnview.com/en/xnconvert/

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.1.1, Photoshop 27.3.1, ACR 18.1.1, Lightroom 9.0, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.2 .
