Make a photo frame

You can make a photo frame by increasing the canvas size and filling it with a color.

You can also use one of the prerecorded actions to make a styled photo frame. It’s best to do this on a copy of your photo.

  1. Open the Actions palette. Choose Window > Actions.
  2. Choose Photo Frames from the Actions palette menu.
  3. Choose one of the photo frame actions from the list.
  4. Click the Play Action button.

    The action plays, creating the frame around your photo.

I'm trying to make a frame around a picture using the action pallete. When the action gets to set selection, a window pops up stating, "the object 'set selection' is currently not available". If I click on "continue" the same window pops up for the steps "new edge 3", "new edge 2", and "new edge 1". Clicking on continue for these does not allow the frame to be completed.

Is there any way of changing the size of the Actions picture frames? Can you change the pixels, depending the size of the picture you are framing?
I have Adobe Photoshop CS3.
Thank you,
Shirley Wright

Correction: Choose Frames from the Actions palette menu.

i have recently purchased CS3 and want to use the Photo Frame feature, but there is no such item in my Actions list. There is a 'Wood Frame, but that is all.

Where are the other choices for Photo Frames?
