Bernard,
Caution -- you are seriously messing with your photo karma if 
you go using one of the fake-black-border software programs. 
This is dangerous territory. Cartier-Bresson is not dead yet, but 
still his ghost will rise to haunt you. The ghost is haunting 
anyone who's not using a Leica and Tri-X and traditional 
darkroom anyway, but if you cross that fake-black-border line, all 
bets are off as to the repercussions.

I'm sure you experienced a bit of that similar ghost the first time 
you used the clone tool to put a third eyeball in the middle of 
someone's forehead; but the black border ghost is much more 
angry.

Beware. You're on thin ice now.
