Need help deciding which frame or mat actions you need? Here's a table that will help you.

This Photoshop frame action set contains actions which can create a variety of virtual frames and mats for your web-sized photographs, in colors of your choosing:

• A Simple Border with a Thin Inner Line
• A Double Mat with Drop Shadow, with or without texture.
• A Tiny Frame
• A Classic Frame with optional Background
• Chiseled Mat, with or without frame
• A Double Chiseled Mat (with or without texture)
• A Simple Beveled Frame
• A background and Beveled Frame, with or without texture
• Golden or Silvery Beveled Frames
• Thin beveled Frames
• Thin Frames with Medium or Wide Backgrounds
• A Floating Photo
• A Floating Frame
• Inner Accent (Medium)
• Inner Accent (Small), followed by Simple Medium-Wide Border
• Self-Mat with Inner Accent
• *** New! *** Blurred Extension Frame
• A Textured, Beveled Frame, with or without background or matte
• *** Flexibility *** Any combination you like. All of the mat and frame actions can be run separately.

These actions support all aspect ratios: portrait, landscape, and square. If you wish, you can change the width of your frames. Best of all, you can combine them to create truly unique frames of your own design. For instance, use a tiny chiseled mat, followed by a wider chiseled mat, and then put a thin frame around it..

Inner Accent (Medium)
Inner Accent (Small), followed by Simple Medium-Wide Border Note: The embossed signature is NOT part of the framing action. However, it is available in our Watermark Signature actions.
Self-Mat with Inner Accent (Medium) Each time you run this action, the area outside the inner accent line gets darker. I ran the action 2 times to get this level of darkness.
Blurred Extension Frame Draws a fine line around your image, using the background color, and then creates a frame outside your image, using colors from the image itself.
Background with Textured Beveled Frame
Shadow Mat, followed by Simple Bevel
Simple Medium Border, followed by Simple Medium-Wide Border
