PhotoFrame 4PhotoFrame is a Photoshop plugin that helps you create digital frames for your digital images. When you think back to most any museum trip you've taken, the vast majority of the paintings are presented in a beautiful frame (which sometimes looks better than the image contained therein). Digital images presented on a computer or the web should be no different. With this new release, PhotoFrame has significantly advanced its usability and ease of finding "just the right frame." That's not to say it wasn't easy before; it was. But with each integration of newer versions, OnOne Software has done an even better job of removing the guessing about how each different frame might look with your image and making the final decision based on what you could see. Well, mostly. In this latest release, there are some wonderful improvements along with some strange glitches, all leading to a mostly great new release.
