Framing...

[T-rev]

What do you use for framing your pictures? I've notice a lot of people on here frame their photos with some software and it can really make an excellent picture look that bit better.

Anyone any suggestions?

Thanks.

In my opinion, the frames that you apply to an image in photoshop are a great tool for presentation of your images in a website, portfolio, etc. However, I would never hang one of those on the wall. If you are talking about framing for the wall your best bet is still a real matte with a real frame. A friend did some of her shots with the electronic frames and then had dry mounted and hung. They just didn't look the same or as good as the real thing. They were however, much more cost efficient as good framing is downright expensive.

There are so many framing software packages around now. If that is what you are looking for you could try Mikes's Framer (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=75175) which gives you a great number of options. I have it and it is pretty slick. I also ended up with a program called Photoframe Pro as it came with another package that I was interested in. It is really a professional level program and is priced as such. It is marketed by On One Software.
