Basic Frame
This is an easy frame tutorial.
Open a new image by going to File/new and use the settings below.
It will come out like the second picture.
Choose the color you would like to make your frame and select
it in the background color box. Now go to Images/Add borders
and use the following settings to come up with the second picture.
Now select the magic wand.
Click on the border and it will look like this.
Go to Effects/Plug-in Filters/Texture/Texturizer. If you don't have the texturizer, you can download it here.
Texturizer
Use the following settings to come up with the second picture.
Go to Effects/3D Effects/Cutout.
Use the following settings to come up with the second picture.
Now while the frame is still selected, go to Edit/Copy.
Then click on Edit/Paste/Paste as a new image.
You should end up with this.
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
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
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
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.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to email me.
