Description
This PhotoFrame preset is great for black and white photos. It replicates the look of a vintage photo not only with the antique film edge by Vincent Versace and also to gives the photo a bit of a worn and tattered look through the use of an overlay.















This looks like a great frame for my clients. Thank you for the info and frames.
mike,
what am i to do with the checkerboard pattern behind the image in this case?

i am wondering how to get the frame not to appear on a white background, but to be clean, per the antique edges.

@glenn – select the top frame in the frame stack – the Vincent Versace frame – and on the Background tab, click on the color well (just to the left of the Eye dropper) and set the color to Transparent and click the Apply button. That will give you a transparent background so you can place the image on any color you want.
@glenn – Setting the color for the top most frame to Transparent should solve this.
I’m having trouble loading frames/presets. I’ve watched the videos and have tried to do as it says but it’s not working. I have the free PhotoFrame version which says I can’t load frames and I don’t get the same explorer window when opening the preset folder. Even though I put the preset there, it doesn’t do anything to the photo. I have PS Elements 8. Is this the problem?
@barbara – Most likely, the presets and/or frames that you’re trying are not in the free version of PhotoFrame and as such, they won’t work. All of the presets that we create here require the full version of PhotoFrame.
ah. okay. that explains that. perhaps it would be beneficial to make that distinction somewhere so there’s no confusion.
