They are all great @Ladybug! ❤️ The sampler came out perfect; fantastic job! 👍 Love all three ships...plugins are such a wonderful thing...and the totally different effect you can get on the same image. Keep up the good work; your gallery is beautiful. 🤗

Congratulations to the winners! 1st Place: @barbieq25 with 9 votes 2nd Place: @Pixey with 7 votes 3rd Place: @DrewDale with 6 votes Great entries from everyone! What a contest! Three very distinct winners this comp. 👏

Wow, she looks fantastic @Pixey! ❤️ You did such a wonderful job on just...everything about her! I could only hope to be as good as you with people images. 😊

Another beauty @barbieq25! ❤️ The reds are so vibrant I can somehow feel them... Yes, PDN can be a cure for what ails you; gives you a chance to push the 'reset' button... 😉 I'm not familiar with the plugin 'CalliColour'. Can you tell me where it's located? Thanks.

You're on a roll @barbieq25! ❤️ Both images are so bright and cheerful. The leaves in 'Pillow Talk' are beautiful. I've never seen variegation like that before. Both made my morning. Thank you, BBQ!! 🤗

No, I'd have to buy one. Maybe I will. We'd probably go 'ga-ga' over each others crystals... 🤪 I need some inspiration first. Haven't been much inspired lately. 🙄

All of them are beautiful, Red! ❤️ You got a 'crystal' thing going on a couple of them (haha)... Love 'Dryad5wayBrooch3' and 'hexgrid5'; really colorful and eye-popping! The 'Flourishes' and 'goldenspiral' are great, too. 🤗

I collect them, too. I'm looking at a blue tiger's eye on my desk that I tumbled and polished myself. Beautiful piece. I have so many!.... The blues in 'Orca' are very soothing; what a pretty piece! Never thought to be inspired by my crystals... 🤭 Just keep up the splendid work, BBQ. When we're on a roll we have to go with it. Never know how long the next 'dry' spell is going to be! 😄

WOW! I love it, too. 😍 The colors just 'pop' off the screen and the glow in the background is just great. Super job! 👍 😊 @Ladybug the plugin is this:

Not many unique entrants this comp, but, WOW!, what an amazing array of images! I think in this comp, the image you chose to 'Gossamer' was key in your final result. Kudos to all! ☺️

Forgot about that one! Excellent...

Hi @Davev and welcome to the forum. 🙂 There are other plugin alternatives such as these: And I believe there is a built-in border plugin. All these plugins are found under the Effects-->Render drop-down menu. You can apply the border directly to the layer that contains your image (but you will cover some of your image) ~or~ create a new transparent layer above and apply it on that. This way you have more control over the border and your image. Good luck with your project! Here is another alternate if you want a 'fancy' border:
