Hi guys, I'm using photoshop to create files in which my artwork is displayed in stock images... in other words I buy stock images of living rooms and create images in which my paintings are then added to the stock image via photoshop. I'm good with adding shadows in order to make the paintings look more at home in the stock images but I can't figure out how to add a border / frame to my paintings. Any ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated!! thanks so much

Hi

Basic is : Double click your image layer > Enable Stroke > Specify Settings (If you're looking at a solid color border).

Firstly unlock the Background layer and click on the Canvas Size dialog box then add more Canvas around the Object.

click the New fill or Adjustment layer icon and choose the color you want for your border then drag the fill layer below the Object.

Open pictures ans create a Solid layer from the Fill/adjustment layer button and then choose color of border, invert mask .Choose brush for border and create border and save the file.

One way to add order use the stroke command . 'Edit' menu, under 'Stroke'. select the option, dialog box you can specify the width of the stroke as well as colour

I've somehow stumbled my way in finding how to do it.

How though, I'm not sure I can remember!

Have a look at the Photoshop Frame Actions presets, which you can modify to suit your requirements.

I'm working in both the current versions of Photoshop and Dreamweaver but can't find "Enable Stroke" anywhere, either in Dreamweaver or Photoshop?

Commands in Dreamweaver doesn't give me any options, even though a pop up box appears, there's nothing in it to edit?

Any help would be appreciated, I'm also like another poster, if you use abbreviations, I'm not likely to know what your talking about.

Since you know how to create a shadow, a solid border is just as easy. In the layer effects is stroke. Just add that instead of a shadow.

And I notice in PS CC2015 – not sure if it's in earlier versions of Photoshop as I never use it – Filter > Render > Picture Frame. It gives you a wide selection of frames and shapes.

Picture frame was introduced a few versions ago. But is still after CS6 (creative cloud). If I recall picture frame like trees and flames require the GPU to render. I could be wrong, but that is my thinking.

Make sure you create your frame or border on a separate Layer so you can easily return to it and make changes.
