Framing Your Image with
Lines
This can get pretty extensive, or kept
quite simple. You should decide what will enhance or compliment the

On this one of my mom... a bright
brilliantly colored frame would not look good in my mind... Something fairly
simple... or yet classy or a dab of elegance, but I don't want it to over power
my image... just compliment it.
I will show you a few easy ways to
create frames.

Shadow
Here are my
settings
notice the minus sign in front of the
1's that places a shadow left and up
once you put a shadow on it....
Repeat the Shadow steps this time remove
the minus sign in from of the 1's to place it right and
