Thanks for the comments
Frames yes I'd love to know how to do it quicker and some of the different ones we see.
I use Photoshop, I think I have 7. CS has frames but I haven't had much of a chance to play with it yet. Any program will do what I do.
Anyway all I do is enlarge the canves size first to 109% for the first band, then increase 4 points for the fine line, then 105% for the last band roughly. The color band is chosen to highlight some color in the photo so I use the eyedropper to select it. Color is controlled by the background color in photoshop, not sure in the others.
Another way I know to get the feathered edge is paste it into a larger canves then rubout small %s of the original layer. I've never had time for this, and I am partial to the classic look I get. You can play with the ratios to get different looks too.
I'd like to do more but I have a 5 yr old birthday party to organise in 2 weeks and the Astrofest registration web page to finish ( I wanted it up a month ago) and I want to join the P&C this year to watch what happens before I really join in. Oh yes get the 14mth old his 12 mth shots and make a cast of his feet like I did with his brother at this age.
Mmmm time dilates around here. Before I know it, it will be 2008. Aaahhhhhhh
