First, Download the newest version which is 1.75... [link] Second, Just run DBM.htm and it should load in your web browser. From there you can open a file and get all the neccessary info for what you need to change to get a certain aspect ratio. Then you goto your favorite photo editor and make the background or "canvas" the same dimensions that Deviant bordermaker gave you. I do have a walkthrough guide included in the zip download, or you can check out [link]

Thanks for your quick reply. I tried to download it, but for some reasons my computer turns it into a Microsoft Word file, and everything gets messed up, is there any way I can fix this? Sorry, but thanks again for your time and help

Some things to try...
1. Open up the folder where Deviant Bordermaker is saved. If it is on the desktop just create a new folder and place Deviant Bordermaker in that folder. On the top, click on Tools-> Folder Options. Click on the "View" tab. Under the advanced settings there should be a list of check boxes. Find the one that says "Hide Extensions For Known File Types". Uncheck that box. Now you should be able to see the extensions of the file. Does Deviantbordermaker have a zip extension? If not, change it to a zip extension and then try to open it.
2. If you can unzip it ok and when you double click on DBM.htm Microsoft word opens, it could be from the file association type. Simply right click and select "open With". Then select a web browser. Or just drag DBM.htm to any web browser and drop it in the window or address bar and it should open up the file.
Glad to help. Hope you get everything running. If you still have problems let me know exactly what it is you are doing.

I'd like to thank you so much for your efforts in trying to help, but my folders don't have a tool icon. I only have windows 98se, so maybe thats why my computer is acting all werid. But it does say its a Zip file though, so I don't know whats up with that. Thanks again so much time for your help!

Hmmm did you unzip the files to a new folder? Do you have winzip? Download the latest version of winzip or try this free download -> [link]

Thanks for all your help =kingkool6! I tried to download winzip, but my computer could even read/ open it! So I guess I'll try something else... hmmmm?
Thanks for all your help

Pc, i think. Windows 98se if that helps.

Hmm so you still haven't figured out how to unzip the files? If all else fails, I can send you the individual files. You really only need two html files, the rest is help files with graphics. Let me know if you are still having problems. sorry for the delay, but i have beena little busy lately.

IΒ΄m using it in my universityΒ΄s jobs, not only in DA. ItΒ΄s been very useful in life at general.
Just wanted to thank you and let you know about it

hmmmx... how do i get this to work? 
its a really fantastic idea and actually helps ppl get along with the prints so much easier..
i just got a print account and i'm still struggling with the sizes...

First you download it to your desktop. Then you unzip it. Then open DBM.htm The rest should be straight forward. But if you have any other problems or suggestions, please let me know.

Cool,
It would be nice to have an app that calculates all that data for you.

I sure thought so. But there is more to my plan. You'll see when I get it working just right.

congrats, mate! really well done. looks like PARF is history now
π: 0 β©: 1
PARF was a big inspiration for the preview part of Deviant Bordermaker. I was excited when I found PARF. But it took me an hour or so to get it up and running and even then it didn't work right. So I improved upon the idea. Let me know if you have any other suggestions or feedback.
π: 0 β©: 1
the first version was a bit clumsy to install indeed. the last jar-version should work out of the box. anyway, your bordermaker is it. PARF was a good exercise for my son in programming java and that's about it 
π: 0 β©: 1
I used this as a chance to practice some javascripting and to address a big problem. I hope your son continues to develop PARF more.

not sure. probably not. your bordermaker does the job even better.
π: 0 β©: 1
And it will ony get better from here.

Oooh! Can't wait to try it out.
Thank you!

I hope you enjoy. Let me know if you have any other suggestions or feedback.

Borders are a good use of space. Lots of prints here on DA are bordered. It's a great way to add some professionalism to your work. Let me know if you have any other suggestions or feedback.

aaaarh, this is soo much better then making a border with paint!
thanks man, something like this was so needed by me.
drewble.
π: 0 β©: 1
Haha. You will still need a program to actually add borders to the image. Deviant Bordermaker just does calculations and gives a preview of what it will look like. Let me know if you have any other suggestions or feedback.

Awesome.
Now I need a print account!
I recomend, try to improve the instructions.
π: 0 β©: 1
Good feedback. What did you find particularly bad with them? Did you read the Help document I included with it as well? Good luck in getting that print account.

I'm downloading this now...before you wise up and start charging for it.
π: 0 β©: 1
Nah. I don't think I'd charge for it. That would create more headaches than it's worth. Besides, I'm a believer in free open source software, for the good of the community. Let me know if you have any other suggestions or feedback.
