hey! i want to make a frame for a picture that will look like those frames that photography shops and laberatories sell (as a normal option for everyone, not something special) -there is a white frame around the picture, but the edge between it and the picture is not clean nor smooth... it looks like there are spots of the developing material, and that is was 'home made' and authentic... thanx for every answer' Ori.

Hmmmm .. curious question or my mind won't wrap around it. The white frame around the picture ... are you talking about the matt that lays against the picture? This normally has a bevel edge on the inside framing the picture. Is this something you are trying to reproduce in Photoshop? The bevel edge wouldn't have the clean white color the matt has since it's a cut edge at maybe 45 (or less) degree angle.

I could make a simple boarder frame in Rhino, render it, put it in Photoshop cut the middle out, copy it to a new image with transparent background and save it in psd then email it to you. Would this help? Do you want it with a Bevel? 30* 60* 45* etc...?

I think he was refering to the look of an uncropped 4x5, or 8x10 contact print. With the three color bleed on the edges that sometimes occurs. I am not sure how to create that effect myself with Photoshop.. heh.. I still do those the old fasioned way.. with a darkroom.
