No where would I find that?
I wanted one similar to the original, with just a white border, exif at the bottom and copyright on the right.
So i downloaded the "EBS - Black-border EXIF-only-outside ICON" script and it just gives me line errors. The default works fine, but I have no idea about scripts or how to edit them and it's a nightmare on notepad trying to find anything.

Cowasaki is there anyway I can use the script on a batch of files if thats makes sense???
I have around 250 pics I want to put the boader on.
I need to look into this, it will be possible eventually!

To do batch with Photoshop just use the automate function and have the script called from an action. I often do 500 pics at once.
Cowasaki I think in the mist of posts you asked for testers, as ever just let me know. - PC with CS3
Darren,
I have found this which may help because the picture is on a seperate background this is the way to do a script for a drop shadow here
It works I am just having a problem with the direction of the drop shadow.
Keep up the good work.

I just thought it may have helped with the distorted picture and multi line lower border?I have already seen that but it requires someone to create the action. It is possible to do in the script so I will do it that way but the list of stuff is getting a bit long at the moment. My big push now has to be the USER DATA EDITOR then the EBS SCRIPT EDITOR. Once these are done I will be pushing hard for version 1.2 including batch processing and the drop shadow amongst other things.
Hi will this work with lightroom 2.2?
As i cannot find any script menu within lightroom?
Cheers

Just came across this thread and (after reading all 16 pages) decided to try this for myself.
I don't want to appear a total numptie, but I can't even get past the download stage!
I download the file EXIF BORDER zip. There appears to be four files in the zip - two empty files, MACOSX and Exif Border, together with two file folders with the same names. The extract operation always extracts the two empty files first, then it tells me that there is already file present with the same name so it refuses to extract the other two files. I have tried deleting the empty files prior to unzip, but can't.
I'm using Vista.
Any help appreciated!
Goto this page : http://www.upgradeyourmac.co.uk/Cowasaki/Site/Script_EXIF.html
And click DOWNLOAD and "SAVE AS", save this as EBS on your desktop
Unzip the file and inside this should be a folder called cowlib AND several EBS script files (all filenames starting "EBS -")
Then just follow the instructions.
Have you put the cowlib folder inside your scripts folder. This error would suggest that it isn't.
I have tested it with MacOS leopard and CS3 plus Vista64 and CS3. Others have tested it with XP and Vista so it should be working.
Thanks - that didn't work, but managed to work around it and get the files into the right folder.
My first error was number 48 - but I searched and found the following:
Sure enough, I'd made the same mistake - fixed that and the script now at least starts to run, but stalls with another message - Error 1233 Expected a reference to an existing file/folder Line 95 -> overlay_file = open(filename ).
Mine says
Windows XP 5.1 Service Pack 3
Just to make sure that I am tinkering with the right file here - I opened the User Data Lib file, in the Cowlib folder - I take it this is the right one?
As has been pointed out by others my advice about using notepad was not ideal, Wordpad is better - I use dreamweaver so I did not realise how notepad dealt with such files. Use Wordpad and save it as something else then copy it over if you have problems. You might be suffering from the security within Vista.....
The new version 1.2 will be out soon with an installer but there will still be a first step for Vista owners which I will explain to you now as it might help you anyway.
goto drive C: and navigate to c:\program files (x86)\adobe\adobe photoshop CS3\presets
Select the folder "Scripts" and right click it then select properties
Select the tab "Security" and click [EDIT]
Find "Users (????\Users)" in the top box and click on it
Click on the box under "Allow" next to FULL CONTROL
Click APPLY
This REMOVES file security from the script directory making it work just like it does on XP !
That worked a treat Cowasaki - thanks. Still getting to grips with Vista!
Apologies for asking about things that have been covered previously - I have actually read the whole thread (twice!) but it's so darn long now!
One other quick query - the default script (which is what I'm sticking to for now) resizes the pic to a manageable size - I get that - but it also reduces the view size to 33.33%, which I don't get - I will look back again over the posts about this as I assume it's another thing I can adjust, but I can't figure out why this was deemed as desirable.
