Beyond cheesiness: how to frame your pictures (continued)

  • Select a vignetted (but not oval) border of 1 pix width and a white frame.
  • Select a light grey border colour.
  • Apply.

Figure D shows an example of the image, adjusted so it'd work better as a background.

FIGURE D


Applying a light-grey vignetted border will create a very bright picture suited for Web page backgrounds Roll over picture for a larger image.

Combined with a non-white frame, you can achieve truly interesting results, eventually even filtering out unwanted colour shifts, like I did in Figure E.

FIGURE E


This photo was treated with a white frame and a dark green (0, 32, 0) vignetted border to compensate for a light blue tint. Roll over picture for a larger image.

Now that you know a lot more about FrameFun, go forth and have some frame fun!
