I was getting fustrated with getting my image frames right so I decided to write a PhotoShop CS script to do it for me. Took me a few days to learn and write it and so I though that I may as well share it here.

I like simple frames, I don't like frames that try to look like a physical frame. So if any of you are the same I hope this will save you some time. Please read the README.txt for instructions on use.

http://www.users.on.net/~dtsang/ps_scripts/tsanglabsSimpleFrame.zip

Instructions:
1. Open & Select the window of the image you wish to add the frame to.
2. Run the script
3. Select frame width (%) using sliders
4. Select border width (px) using sliders
5. Click OK to run

Here is an example:

Thanks for sharing David, very thoughtful

Hhehe....sounds like something similar to what I was going to do when I create a website. However I was going to have the images seperate to the frame. Then I was going to have my PHP app build the frame from a set of default frames

I work as a software consultant/AP and I have been working for the past year in a language that is used very little, esp in Australia, called Natural and I felt as though I needed to try something different.

I use to do a lot of PHP a few years ago, started many projects, never finished any. I always lost motivation or time. Hope to use it in the future, I have always found PHP an enjoyable language to use. Does that sound weird? PS: Excuse the coding, never used Javascript b4.

Thanks very much for posting this it is exactly what I was looking for on the net last week.

But I just can't get it to work. When i double click on the program it opens in Dreamweaver. When i try and import it through Photoshop CS I get an Error in Line 35 message.

Cheers

ajo43 you can achieve a very similar result using the canvas size option, and it is very simple to do.

Thanks Oneput. I thought that might be the other way to do it and you have confirmed that.

cheers

Double clicking will not work since it is a javascript.

I will have a look at your error tonight, make sure you do not have the text tool selected.

It is simple to do, look at the source code, but its just a time saver.

Added instructions. The error on "Line 35" indicates that you do not have the active document selected. You need to have the image open and active.

Hope that clears it up.
