Hey Mike,

I spent this morning fooling around in CS2, trying to make a digital frame and working on some techniques with the help of Scott Kelby's book.
What do you think of this frame I came up with? I mean the colors are optional and could be anything, but I am talking in general about design and dimentions. I just chose my granddaughter picture for sample because I was working on some focus issues and tone of the skin and stuff.

Me likes, but I think I'd make the frame a tab bit thicker, which will give you the chance to put a bevel on it, so it has some depth to it, like this, hope it's ok I used your picture. This was just a quick thing. It could look better with a little time.

Thanks Tray!

Your version is not bad but I really don't like the heavy frames, I have FM frames that has this beveled heavier frame option and I never really use it.
The reason I chose one that I did is because of the entire canvas becomes part of the frame and heavy-er frame just seems errr... too heavy?
I hope I'm making sense but not sure about that, working for more than two hours in PS usually renders me incoherent with expression like "Doh?"

lol, Yeah that made sense to me, but being incoherent myself, maybe, we can understand each other, and noone else can. lol. Actually I hate using photoshop, I'm a CAD guy, so so I'm used to lines and circles, not dots. lol. Anyways Good luck with the frame making.
