50 free photo frames and borders for Photoshop

You've done it again! Thank you guys for the photo frames!

can we get them all in a ZIP file?

miroslavjelinek - you can find a zip file at the top and bottom of the article (Download technique files (8MB))

These are fantastic - will never need another frame again :-) just a quick question - which is the best photoshop elements 7 folder to put these in or does it not matter? regards marjan

It depends how/where you installed photoshop. I have Elements 7 and the borders are in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 7.0\Assets\Print Borders

nice borders...thanks..!

I use Elements 7.0 and note that to execute step 3 of the tutorial it is necessary to select Image - Transform - Free Transform. I have yet to learn how to invert the border, again I believe the instruction in the tutorial is incorrect for Elements 7.0; can you advise please?

trackstar, to invert an image in Elements 7.0, use Filter > Adjustments > Invert. Alternatively, hit Ctrl-I.

If you're having a problem with the Photoshop steps, try this alternative:

Step 1: Place the border Open the photo you want to add a border to in Elements. To add the frame go to File > Place. Use the file browser to locate the border that you want to use and click Place.

Step 2: resize to cover the photo The border will appear over the photo and around the edges you will see eight anchor points. Grab one of these points and move the edge of the border to the edge of the photo, repeat this so the border covers the entire photo.

Step 3: change the blending mode Click the green tick in the top right of the screen to confirm the size change, and then from the Layer blending mode dropdown select 'Darken', to reveal the dark border. If the border is a white one, use 'Screen' blending mode instead.

Hope that helps.

Marcus Hawkins. You're help is much appreciated, thanks for your time.

Very useful

Nice frame thanks

I get a solid black area in the middle of the frame-how do I ge the image to lie on top of the frame rather than the other way round?

I think I have sussed it-by playing with the blending modes

Thank you.

Excellent. Just right for my book portfolios. Thank you.

I've tried this, but can't stop my image from turning to grayscale when i add them to the frame.

I have found a better way to get good frames and borders.I bought Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 ultimate

Using this programme it is possible to make frames and borders any colour you wish.

daz104 - I'm finding it tricky to replicate your problem. So, following the steps on the last page, your image is turning greyscale when you drag it across to the frame, at the end of step 1? Can you just check that both the image and the frame are RGB when you start the process?
