I am not even sure if that is the right term, but figured our scrapbooking experts will know what I am talking about!
I have a notice that I would like to put a deckled edge around. I don't know if I am needing a border or a frame, but hope you can point me in the right direction.

Depends on what effect you want. Do you want an even design all around your photo? Do you want scallops? Realize you can make any shape and drop a photo onto it and the photo will look framed. However, if you want to add a shadow or bevel or another treatment on your frame, you will need to cut out the center. Sometimes it's easiest to just drop your photo onto a fancy edged rectangle and select the photo - use that selection to cut a 'hole' in your solid layer and move the solid layer over the top of the photo. Add your shadowing and it's a frame. If you wish your frame to overlap the photo, it's easy to resize the photo a bit to make sure the frame covers the photo edges. I'll get back to you in a while with examples. Realize you can make a frame out of anything solid - you just need to cut a hole for the photo. This is what the internet is calling a deckle edge - is this what you want?  |

Rita - I just saw your response. That tutorial is excellent. I was wondering how one would make those uneven cuts around the edge. Wendy was always brilliant at tutorials. This is one tutorial I just have to try although I usually just grab someone else's scrapbook paper and make my frame from it.

Tom - looks like the others have simplified this process for you. I was concentrating on frame making rather than deckle edging.
Can't wait to see your finished project.

BillieJean - that's just what I would've done - grab a ready made shape and drop a photo on top of it to frame it - or if I just wanted the edges on the photo, I would group my photo layer with the shape layer.

Sepiana, you beat me by 3 minutes Rita, great minds (and big fans of Wendy Williams) think alike. |

Here's a simple way to alter the edges of a photo. Use a shape and group it with the photo. I made my shape while on the photo layer. I could see exactly what portion of the photo I wanted merged with my shape. I know this shape is tacky - it's for illustration only.   |

If an actual frame was what you were looking for: Here's a photo dropped onto a edged solid - it doesn't quite have the look of being framed.  Here's with the center cut out of the solid, the 'frame' brought over the photo - then a bevel/shadow added Not crazy about the result - the bevel/shadow doesn't accentuate the inside of the 'frame' as much as I would like even though I changed color - but the steps are the same for any frame you want to make.  |

If anyone is going to make a deckle edge from the tutorial, make sure you use a plain color and save it as a png for future use. After all that work, you'll want to use your edge on multiple projects.
