Frames & Effects

[Keenlearner]

I have been playing and learning what PSE has to offer in the way of frames and effects...wide frames, narrow frames, fill -in effects and so on. These are a very first effort. I hope you enjoy just the same.



Did You Say I Would Find Some Nice Warm Milk Here Somewhere?
It appeared that Mum had given birth to two babies, but only one survived, and he was right ready to find that warm sustenance.

Great photos & nice framing job too! I have done very little on the framing side of things in Photoshop, but your examples do motivate me to try some myself.

Pauline, nice work with the frames. I like the fit and look on the last one best!

Many thanks SoxAddict. It is fun playing in PSE but I have a lot of refining to do here.

Thankyou Dvetter. This was very much an experimental attempt. I hope to get more time to really work in there and see what I can come up with that's different.

Looks like you're having fun! I've never tried anything like this. I like the combination of photo and frame in the second one best I think -- the frame calls attention to the photo rather than to itself. But all the photos are wonderful!

Thankyou Tenzin'sMom. It was fun and I tested out quite a few of the different effects.

Thankyou Hayward. Only a bit of fun at this stage, but will investigate more options at a later date.

Nice job. Now where IS that in photoshop? I was wondering how to do that today and feel silly that I don't know.

Thankyou AlphaBjerke. I have PhotoShop Elements 5.0. Go to the Art & Effects...this particular one was using Photo Effects - Frames - Recessed Frame. Then for the fill...Layer styles - Patterns - I used "Dry Mud" for the cottage, but you will see many other choices there. Hope you have as much fun as I did.

Hmm, I have CS2 and can't find it. Will keep looking. Thanks!
