I’ve seen that professional photographers use white borders around their photos on Instagram, why do they make their photos smaller by doing that? To preserve image quality?
If that is so why don’t they just use standard 1:1 , 3:4 or landscape mode which ig supports instead of custom crops
I do this. I don’t like how IG (and Glass) put the edges of the picture right up to the edge of the phone and all the type.
You can generate a very subtle one in Lightroom Mobile on export. Hit the export icon, look for “Add Border and Share” and select Save Image.
My personal recipe is, use the 4x5 preset, add a #6 border. Looks nice.
