Now let me show you how you can create a Photo Frame and how apply it to your photos

Step 1: find a best image that can be used as a Frame
(Trick, from Google image search use keyword "frame". Then you will get many candidate frame images)

Here is the image I got:

Step 2: Download it (or simply capture it to Photobie using photobie screencapture feature)

Step 3: Make frame by click on Menu->Frame->make current image as picture frame

screen shot. then you will see a new photo panel created in Photobie. It actually consists two layers (background layer is in green color, layer 1 is the image you captured.)

Step 4: Edit frame by set up the front layer's transparent color. In my sample we can use the layerManager in right side of Photobie window

to set the transparent color (TPColor) as white and set tolerance (TPRangeBlue/Green/Red) to appropriate value

. You might need to adjust the color and tolerance several times to get the perfect effect.

Step 5: Save frame to .pob file

Step 6: Open the photo you want to be framed

.

Step 7: Apply frame by click on Menu->Frame->apply a picture frame to current image

, and select the .pob file that you just saved.

. Then you will see the new Photo panel with current image as the middle layer.

, you need to drag that layer to the propriate place.

Step 8: Save the framed pictured as .jpg or .pob file. If you save it as .pob file, you can retouch it easily later.

Step 9: Open saved frame picture which is saved as .jpg or .pob format.

All done. Here is the my final image

, actural image

Now you can apply the frame to more pictures. Then it is really simple process maybe two clicks away. Some time you may want to adjust the image size first before apply the frame.

Have fun and enjoy it!
