Adding Borders
Turbo View & Convert provides several border styles you can apply to your image. Click "Border" in the image toolbar to open a panel of borders to choose from. The panel shows a preview for each border, but you can also click through the borders to see how each appears on your image. When you are done, click the Apply button to apply the border. If you would like a black border instead of white, click the "Black border" check box.
Applying Quick Effects
Quick effects are a fun feature of Turbo View & Convert, allowing you to enhance your photos in a single click. You can apply vintage or leather filters, as well as a flare or other fun effects. Click the "Quick Effect" in the image toolbar to open the panel of quick effects. The panel displays a preview for each effect, but you can also click through each effect to see how it appears on your image. Click the Apply button when you are ready to apply the effect. Don't be afraid to try multiple quick effects on the same image. Sometimes combinations of effects look great.
