How to Frame With Adobe Photoshop
The Adobe Photoshop software may be your go-to choice for editing digital photos, but the program also offers functionality to put your pictures on display. You can make your image stand out with a digital frame. This technique is not the electronic kind in which you load in a set of rotating pictures, but the kind you draw directly onto the picture using Photoshop. Framing in Photoshop uses the program's "Stroke" menu to help you create an eye-catching border to match your image and grab a viewer's attention.
