Tigress Nervous Wreck (II) Inmate From: Insane since: Jul 2003	posted 07-20-2003 20:26 I have pictures of some paintings, and I need to create really classy frames for them. Frames that you would find in museums - wooden and golden ones. I have no clue how to do that, however I do have the PhotoFrame 2.5 plugin, and I tried playing around with it, but it seems it can only do the basic stuff, and can't make fancy frames. Please be as detailed as possible, Thanks in advance

I`d start with a square frame, then build up the details in layers. I would use the pen tool to make selections and fill them with gadients, or paint the shadows and highlights in on 1/2 of the frame, then merge a copy, and flip.

The best options, IMO, are 1) Painting by hand 2) Finding a free source for photos of such frames and modifying them to your tastes. You'll find that although the filters and plugins for Photoshop can do wondrous things sometimes, there is often no substitute for getting in there and getting your hands dirty - using the Pen, Paintbrush, and Pencil tools.
