does anyone use EXTENSIS PHOTO FRAMES?

[verty]

i was wondering if anyone here uses Extensis Photo Frames for wedding photography?
I have lots of frames as a ".frm" file extension but how do i use them in Photoshop? Do i need extra software to use them for photos i have taken?

I know its not a direct Canon question but thought maybe someone on the forum has good experience with Extensis Photo Frames..

Thanks

Thanks Tim..
Ive seen that site before... but they dont have the exact sorta frames im after..
i have over 2000 really cool looking professional frames as a .frm file type but i just dont know how 2 open em... like i presume you open them in Photoshop, but how with having the white section as a layer??

this is what one of the frames look like.. and i have heaps moreeee! just cant use em :(

How are you showing them to us if you can't use them? If you can get them out in any way and save them as psd files the thingy I linked to can use them.

Sloppy works good. Also I think you'd have to select the white on the inside and delete it. Where the photo goes has to be transparent as far as I can tell.

BTW, where did you get your loads of frames, and are they freely available somewhere?

what i did was on my mac change the file extension from ".frm" to ".jpg" then opened it in Photoshop.. However the whole image is flat since its been converted as a jpg, you cant have layers in a jpg file format.. If i could open the ".frm" file in its original file type the white would be a seperate layer from the black boarder and i could place the photograph behind the black boarder section.. get me??

i mean i could crop out the white in Photoshop but it wouldnt be 100% + i dont wanna do it for the hundred other boarders im planing on using..

Try renaming to psd and see what happens. Nothing probably.

i actually found out you need to install the program and i grabed it before i left to go home.. ive been messing around with it here and its pretty cool...

here is one ive quickly wacked together.. the problem being there are just too many boarders to choose from now.. but yeah quite a nifty plugin for photoshop :)
