Hi, all! I just got my wife a new iMac (24", 2.8ghz) and have some questions about working with photos. Forgive me for not being able to find this anywhere else on the internet, but I'm deployed and can't get to a lot of web sites.
She figured out how to do vignettes, and it turns out really well.
However, she also likes to put borders around photos. She said that when she tried to do this in iPhoto, it wanted to charge her $1.99 (I'm guessing this is the professional printing stuff that is on the apple.com/iphoto website.)
Here are my questions:
1) Is there a way to do borders in iPhoto?
2) If not, does Aperture do them?
3) Other suggestions?
Another reason I ask about Aperture is that I'd like to get her a DSLR camera in another few months, and she'd like to start getting more professional (famliy portraits, like in Sears, for example). If Aperture would be worth it for that, too, it would be worth it to just get it now and do this right from the beginning.
Thanks for any input on this.
PS - For those who are wondering, she's LOVING the new iMac!
