The latest version of Lightroom Mobile now supports customizable borders per release notes. Is there a tutorial for this feature as I have no clue how to implement? Thanks.

    I don't know if there's a tutorial, but it's such a simple feature at the moment that it really doesn't need one:

     

    1. Select an image, tap on the share icon, select "Add border and share...."

    2. That opens the Border Options dialog which consists of three functions: Color, Thickness, and Border size, all of which are pretty simple to understand and control.

    3. When done with the options, tap on the share icon (top right of the Border options box), then choose the export destination.

     

    At this time, you have no control over the pixel size, quality, file-type, etc., these are all fixed, and nor can you add a watermark.

      Adobe please add the option for us users to be able to manage image size, pixel quality etc - when adding a border. I'm here late night editing on my phone, and now I have to wait til the morning to then open them up on photoshop just so that I can add a border and share my high quality images online. Many thanks!

        A less than ideal workaround, but gives 90% resolution images is to use the scale feature.  If there was no cropping done, you can just drop the scale down, I generally use 90. 

         

        If the image was cropped or straightened, you have another step.  First, save the final image to your device, then from your phones gallery, share the finished image back to Lightroom, then scale down for a white border. 

         

        Using the vignette tool is another, even less ideal option because the inside corners are rounded and ever so slightly blurry, but it at least gives to the option for black borders.  Just drop the midpoint, roundness, and feather down to zero, and adjust amount to either extreme depending on the color you want.  

         

        Or just use Adobe Express.
