The Easiest Way to Mat and Frame your Images to a Specific Size

This Photoshop frame and mat action set contains actions which make it easy to mat and frame images in user-specified print sizes. You control the color, width, and appearance of the mat and frame.

Need your final matted/framed image to be an exact size, such as 11 x 14 inches? These actions will let you do that, quickly and easily.

"Chameleon" Technology

Special "Tweak" actions allow you to adjust mat and background colors interactively after creating them, so you can get just the right colors to complement your image.

New: Now you can tweak the color of the mat bevel and change/tweak the color of the mat at any time, even after framing. Because mat and frame layers are preserved, you can change the colors at any time in the future.

Our eMats and Frames are particularly effective for images that will be Gallery Wrapped, no matter what technique is applied for the wrapped edges.

Getting Fancy with Frames

First we added a simple background, and then we created a relatively wide frame. When the action stopped for us to specify the look of the frame, we added a texture, and also added the "Satin" option in Overlay blend mode.

Let your imagination run free.

Tweaking Colors
