please point me to digital frames

[Wouter]

As the title says, I'm looking for digital frames. I've seen some in DxO filmpack but these don't really interest me. I'd be grateful if you rffers could indicate some sources, payed or free. Thanks in advance.

My art store used a 27" digital television to rotate through their stained glass window previous made. Any size will do.

Put the pics on a thumb drive.

Are you looking for:
- Digital borders and edges for your images? -or-
- A digital display that shows your photos?

Digital borders and edges is what I'm looking for. Thanks for the clarification.

If you use lightroom, here's a simple way of adding borders automatically in the export process:

Which specific border(s) are you looking for? You can easily make a Hasselblad, Mamiya, Rolleiflex, 4x5, etc. frame if you have Adobe Illustrator or the like. I once took online images, and used them to copy their frames in Illustrator, then used those results as layers in Photoshop. Quite simple, free, and the Illustrator vectors will scale to any size.

Otherwise, Alien Skin Exposure has a selection of borders/frames, including some film edges, polaroid emulsions, watercolor, collodion, etc.

Also, try a google search: https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=film+frame+vector&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

Vectors imported into photoshop are scalable.

When you layer it in Photoshop, it may help to not use it at 100% black. Depending on the contrast and black level of your image, it may look more realistic to dial it down a smidge. Same with sharpness. A small Gaussian Blur might make it look like it has been part of the 'scanning' process....

Thanks Dexter. Unfortunately I'm not very familiar with PS nor Illustrator, I work with Lightroom mainly. I'll check out the alien skin options and the google search, for sure.

Let me know what you're looking for. Maybe i can send what i have, or make something.

But, i also just found a link on DPReview, to a free software offering:

[might be a limited time thing]

...and i just fired it up to see that it has a few borders.

You might check out Photoscape. It a freeware application for Windows that comes with a number of borders that can easily be applied. You can set it as one of LR's two "Edit in..." apps so that passing images to it from LR is easy.

You can try the Deviant Art website. I seem to recall they had some. Incidentally I use Corel Paintshop Pro (latest versions) instead of Photoshop and it has an option to add borders and frames (its an option in the "image" drop down menu). It automatically sizes these and adds them to the image with little more than a single click. Very nice feature as it avoids a lot of mucking about and resizing to get them to fit properly. The Corel software distinguishes between borders and frames but in practice the result is similar even though they get there by a slightly different route.

Problem is most of the stock frames that come with the Corel product are very, very NAF. Never the less, its easy to make and add your own frames to the relevant directory (saved I think in .png format which keep transparency information intact in the image) and these then will appear as options when you open the tool. The borders are in a single layer and are a separate option. The frames are applied as a separate layer (which ultimately must be merged with the original image) But both basically work fine.

What kind are you looking for - simple white or black borders or something more fancy? If it's simple, another method is to increase the size of the "canvas" in photoshop or paintshop. From memory there is a command for this and it adds a white border around the image.

Also as mentioned below Photoscape has a few borders/frames - in fact I think I imported some of the Photoscape frames into Corel as described above so I did not have to use two different pieces of software just so I could add a border or frame when I had finished other editing.

In the end the fastest and best way of making digital borders is by doing it manually in what ever photo editing program you have. It may take a bit of learning curve, but effort put into these programs pays dividends.

More important question; why do you want digital frames in the first place? Frames around things often look nice in person and can look good in print, but I've never seen a digital frame on anything that improves an image on a screen.
