Printing and framing a photo is always a lovely thing to do. Nothing beats a real frame with a photo on the wall. Would you still like a digital frame around your photo to display on a monitor or TV? You can easily make one yourself in Photoshop. One you can reuse.

As you may know, Photoshop includes a few standard automated actions that create a frame around your photo at the press of a button. Wouldn't it be more fun to make one yourself? One that is unique to you?

It isn't difficult to make your own unique frame. With layers and masks, you can create a Photoshop file that serves as a basis in no time. All you then have to do is drag your photo into it and you're done.

In the video below, I explain how you can do this in a simple way. You can fully automate this using an action. But by saving a file with layers and masks as a normal Photoshop file, you don't need any complicated 'programming' or procedures.

Choose a frame from the internet, or preferably take a photo of something you can use to create a frame. Be creative and make something unique for your photos. The next time you want to use the frame, all you have to do is open the file and drag your photo into it.
