Frames

[KeithThibodeaux]

Does anyone know of a plugin that can make frames similar to this (http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/306632_3643122566125_1516175904_3140512_846260796_n.jpg)?

It does more than just the one type of frame, but it has what you are looking for

That's just about the simplest frame to create yourself you know (hint Layers + Rectangle shape tool). Plugins are not always the answer when you arm yourself with a little knowledge...,

Or you could sucessively increase the canvas size by a percentage amount (with a different secondary color each time you do it). Keep the image anchored to the center each time.

STILL no plugin required!

^^ that probably needed to be explained better.

1. Open you image.

2. Select your new frame color as the secondary color in the Colors window (white in the example image - fortunately the default secondary color).

3. Go to Image | Canvas Size and enlarge the canvas by 110%. Anchor the exisiting image to the center.

4. Select new frame color as the secondary color (#190000 in the example image).

5. Go to Image | Canvas Size and enlarge the canvas this time by 140%. Again anchor the exisiting image to the center.

Voila! Centered image in colored frames.
