Border Padding

The Border Padding image enhancement adds a white border around the current image. Border padding increases the size and dimensions of the image. It does not scale or change the resolution of the image. The extra space created by Border Padding adds more room for stamps or other annotations added by a later process. You can specify the amount of space that will be added to each border. You can configure padding separately for each side: for example, you might pad the left and right sides of the image, but set the top and bottom to 0 to ensure those dimensions are not altered. The extra space added by Border Padding will always be white, so if you use it on a dark image and then invert the colors, you will end up with a dark border on a light image. To keep the border color consistent with the rest of the background, use Border Padding after Invert on a dark image.
