Now you can save it as a tube or as a picture frame. Pick out a
name for it. I just used basicframe for mine. To save it as a
picture frame, go to File/Save As

new image

This box will come open and you will save it in your frames
folder under PSP. I am showing you the path here.
When you type in your name, be sure and add .pfr at the end
so it will save it as a frame.

If you want to save it as a tube, then you go to File/Export/Picture Tube

new image

Use the following settings and name your tube. I always
add -syl at the end of my tubes just to show it is one I made.
You can do what you like.

There you have it. You have made a basic frame and saved
it as a frame or as a tube. One more quick trick to change the color
of it if you ever want to. Go to Colors/Colorize

new image

With the following settings you will get the color in the second picture.

You can change the hue to whatever number you want and it will change
the color of the frame. You can save them in different colors,
or just change the color when you want to use it.
