Resize and Watermark with border

[alok_anand2278]

I want to resize my photos to 600x400 px and then add a border (black) of 40pixels on each side. I created the border 680x480 with the center portion 600x400 transparent in photoshop and saved the image as a png which I am using in the watermark section.

However, when I apply resizing and I say fit image to 600 pixels, the final image is 600 pixels wide and includes the border I created. The border is now covering up part of the image. Same case when I fit image to 680 pixels.. I want the image to be resized and fit into the 600x400 hole I have created in the watermark png.

Anybody have any clue on how to get this to work?

Thanks,
Alok

What you're trying to achieve can't be done with Photo Mechanic.

Sorry.
