Alright all, I was wondering how some of you do your "frames" for your photies? I mean like the following examples:

Etc

(apologies for linking to others pics without first gaining permission)

So do you have to make a "frame" for every shot? Or is there some software that'll do it all for me?

Thanks,
Rob

    If you use PhotoShop, there are many framing actions available. Go to http://share.studio.adobe.com/axBrowseSubmit.asp?c=41 and you will find dozens of automated frame "actions" for PhotoShop.

    Many others are available here: http://www.atncentral.com/download.htm I personally like Marcia's Frame Actions, but Bud's are good too.

    IMHO, that's one of the reasons PhotoShop CS2 is so worth its high cost: the availability of ancillary actions, styles, tutorials, etc. that help with presentation, creativity, and learning. (BTW, if you are a student or educator, the price of PS is significantly lower.)
