Thanks for your comments. When exporting for the web, I sometimes would like to be able to specify the border in pixels, typically 2px to get a very thin frame that separates image from background. But I see from your comments that this seems to be a very special case. Anyways, the border should be symmetric if setting horizontal and vertical position to center (ie. left size = right size, top = bottom), which doesn't always work currently: http://www.abload.de/img/img_000199qii.jpg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master HTML5, CSS3, ASP.NET, MVC, AJAX, Knockout.js, Web API and much more.
