How To Add A Photo Frame Effect

1. Install PaintShop Pro

To install PaintShop Pro photo editing software on your PC, download and run the installation file above. Continue following on-screen instructions to complete the setup process.

2. Select Picture Frame from Image menu

Choose Image > Picture Frame. The Picture Frame dialog box appears.

3. Choose a frame

In the Picture Frame group box, choose a frame from the drop-list.

4. Resize the frame

In the Orientation group box, choose one of the following options:

• Frame canvas — sizes the frame to the canvas. The frame layer is named “Picture Frame” on the Layers palette. Successive frames reside on layers named “Picture Frame 1,” “Picture Frame 2,” and so on.
• Frame current layer — sizes the frame to the current layer (which may have a different size than the canvas). For example, if you are creating a collage of photos for a scrapbook and each photo is on a separate layer, you can frame each photo by choosing this option. The frame layer is named after the original layer with the words “Picture Frame” appended to the name.

5. Position the frame

Choose one of the following options:

• Frame inside of the image — resizes the frame to fit within the image canvas
• Frame outside of the image — increases the canvas size to accommodate the frame. The added canvas uses the current background color if the frame is applied to the Background layer. If the frame is applied to any other layer, the extra canvas is transparent.

6. Adjust the frame

Mark any of the following check boxes:

• Flip frame — reverses the frame along its horizontal axis
• Mirror frame — reverses the frame along its vertical axis
• Rotate frame right — lets you rotate the frame clockwise when the image is taller than it is wide

Click OK.
