Bruce,

How do you put the frames on your images? I can only manage to do a single line or shadow, never a matted look.

Thanks for any help you can offer!

Hi Juli,

 

I use one of my post processing programs. In this case it is Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2. It's really simple,it allows you to add as many borders as you like and in any color you chose. I could add frames instead but I just like pulling colors out of the images sometimes.

Thank you Debathome! I also really enjoyed you slideshow,awesome photos. The weather looked beautiful for your Alaskan cruise,not so nice for ours but it is still beautiful up there. I enjoyed your Vancouver photos also. Any tips for Vancouver? We are going to spend a week there and in Whistler in July.

Thank you Bruce! By going in and doing it that way I'm able to do more than just the preset frames. :D I like your idea of pulling a color out of the image.

Another option would be to use the image itself as part of the border.

This was done in Elements 6.0 with two layers of the same image and the drop-shadow effect. 4-5 minutes and no special plug-ins required:

Dave nice cool effect. I like that. :D

[NMCruzzin]

Haven't been by in a couple of days - and Taa Daa....

Beautiful Pics - Great special effects....

Always a great place to come and check out what you all are

shooting up these days! Love it!!

[Debathome]

Thank you guys, yes, we did have lovely weather. Up in the Yukon it got into the high 80's.

 

In Vancouver we took the double decker tour and then noted the places that we would like to go back and visit a little longer. Granville Island was one of my favorites. Whatever you do, you will enjoy it. Whistler is wondeful although I haven't been there in years. Lucky you!

I just signed on for another cruise in 2011 that leaves L.A. and makes it's way to Vancouver. I can't wait to go back.

 

Dave, always impressive.

[mnbruce]

Somebody had to post some fireworks shots.:) I hope everyone had a great holiday.

 

 

 

 

[judynorth]

Fantastic fireworks shots!

[gumballz]

mnbruce, we had no fireworks here.....so thank you for those great shots! :)

[jimjamxx]

I did not have tripod so all my fireworks are blurry, but did give them interesting effects:

beautiful fireworks.

[pierces]

No fireworks, but we drove home via back roads and passed the

Amboy Shoe Tree on old Route 66. It was 113°, so I didn't spend

A whole lot of time shooting!

 

 

 

Hope everyone had a good holiday!

Glad to see that everyone enjoyed their 4th of July!!

 

Great fireworks shots. :)

 

Dave, interesting tree. I will have to read up about it, never heard of it. Great shots (as usual ;))

[sports-mom]

Love all the recent shots posted.

Since its now 4/6, I wont post fireworks pics..

instead, here is a sparrow at liftoff.

 

And a black widow I found while we were doing some landscaping yesterday. :eek:

[TheRoff]

No fire works either. And no black widows, thank goodness. Just this guy under the bird feeder.

 

[sports-mom]

beautiful markings on that guy Roff. :)

[Cruiser Forever]

WOW!!! Great firework shots. Mine are average compared to everyone who posted their fireworks photo. So beautiful.

 

Dave, That tree is so strange but very interesting. I like it.

 

And that bird is amazing Roff, Love it!! Thanks for sharing all the beautiful non-cruise photos. Hope to post a few myself in the coming days.:D
