You can click the Download button to automatically install this set of line styles, masks, shapes, and frames. On the right, scroll down to find the free Creative Content Pack. On the left side of the Welcome window, click Get More. At the top of the window, click the House icon to go to the Welcome window. In addition to the preset frames provided in your PaintShop Pro installation, there are also many more you can download. We’ll look more at transparency in the next example. If the Keep transparent box is checked, the canvas background will show through.

You can click on the color swatch (blue in the example below) and select a different color for the frame background.

When the Keep transparent box is unchecked, the frame background will be the color set in the Transparency Color swatch. Layers are assigned default names, but you can click a layer name and assign a new name.įor an example of a frame with transparency options, choose the Platinum picture frame. The second frame we are using is Transparent, and it will be fully visible on a new layer above the hidden layer with the Cyanotype frame.Įach frame has its own layer, and you switch layer visibility to see which one you prefer. To try out different frames, click the Visibility toggle (eye icon) to hide the layer with the first frame. In this example, the frame is applied inside of the image.īecause the frame was applied inside of the image, no extra canvas was added to the original background layer. The Flip, Mirror, and Rotate options can be used to establish which frame edge appears along which photo edge. Use Undo ( Ctrl + Z) to remove the frame and return to the original photo.įor the next frame, choose Cyanotype, which creates a thick, blue, hand-painted looking frame. And because this frame was applied to the outside, meaning the canvas size was updated, the extra canvas appears as a color in the background layer (orange, in this case). Now a new layer is added, called Picture Frame. Or you can frame outside of the image, which means the canvas size updates to accommodate the frame. If you choose to frame inside of the image, the frame resizes to fit within the image canvas. The Orientation window shows how the framed image will appear. Click the picture frame thumbnail to open the library of frames available.įor a simple example, choose the Black torn frame. In this example we are using the Kauai.jpg file. In this tutorial, you’ll learn about the many framing options in PaintShop Pro’s preset picture frames, learn how to get many more frames, and see how frames work with transparency and layers.įirst, open PaintShop Pro and make sure you are in the Edit workspace. Just like framing the photos displayed on your wall, PaintShop Pro makes it easy to frame your digital photos as well.
