Adding a border or shading around embedded images

Mail
1

I often send partial screen caps to people. The problem is that:

  • the background is white.
  • the background of the screencap is white.
  • it’s often difficult to tell that it IS a screen cap (unless I Photoshopped it).

What I’d like to be able to do (and what I used to do with Outlook) is to add a border or some shading around the embedded screencap.

Is this currently possible (or even planned), as I sure can’t see it.

Edit: OK, I figure the best I can currently do is to insert a 1x1 table and put the image inside that.

Interesting. I am just moving to EMC. I hope they can consider “PAGE COLOR OPTIONS” as a feature request. Meanwhile, thanks for the table workaround.

Hello Andrew,
we currently don’t have a feature to add borders to images inside the message.
If you often send pictures with white backgrounds though, I recommend setting up a template for your emails with a slightly darker background, but the table workaround works just as well :slight_smile:

Best regards,
Olivia

TEMPLATES…works perfectly. Page Color Options there all along. Thanks!

Yep, so I’m using a template (or a table). There isn’t, however the ability to put a border or shading around an image otherwise. It gets the job done.

Ah, yes. I guess I forgot that I will be missing the option to have a DROP SHADOW (

Hello,
I’ll forward your ideas for consideration in the future updates.

Best wishes,
Olivia

Yes, please do! As a software developer I too send a couple of screenshots a day. It would be very helpful to be able to add a border.

Thought I’d wake this up.
Screenshots is where I use this feature a lot in Outlook. It would be great to have something here.
Could be dead simple such as a single pixel black line. More would be nice, of course.

I kind of recall the table workaround, however I ended up just reverting back to Outlook some years ago.

I currently sometimes create borders around inline embedded images by manually inserting a table in a compose window, and then increasing the border width in the Table Properties by right clicking on the border after creating the table which works ok for me.

However i would also like the option to have “a Border Colour” apart from Border Shading options as @Andrew_Tuline already proposed in his post at the top.

Hi. Are you any closer to adding this ‘Border around inserted images’ yet. Would be very keen to have this option like outlook does.
Cheers,
David
