Adding frames to your images
January 17th, 2010 Posted in General
Often, on popular image sharing sites such as flickr and picassa, you will notice a significant amount of people frame their photos, either with a thick white or thick black border.
To do this, use a popular photo editing software program, such as Photoshop or even Microsofts new Paint.
If you create a new layer and fill the photo in either a white or black colour, simple use a marquee tool to select a square area resembling the space inside your frame and choose cut. If your frame layer is above your photo, you will notice that a frame has now been correctly put on the photo.
In my opnion, this effect highlights the photo itself, and draws more attention to it’s detail.
Have fun!
