Video: How to add White Borders to Instagram Photos in Lightroom

Some people prefer posting their photos to instagram using a frame, with white borders surrounding the image, n order to preserve the original aspect ratio. People are quite divided as to whether or not this is a good thing to do or not, but if you want to do it, there are lots of ways to go about it. If you use Lightroom, there’s actually a pretty easy way to get the white border effect inside of Lightroom, without having to use plug-ins or go to Photoshop.

In this video I show you how to add white borders to your instagram photos, inside of Lightroom. This technique uses the print module, and shows you how to set up a square template that will work for either horizontal or vertical images. Once you have set this up, it’s super easy and quick to use. You can even batch process photos using this method.
