The Easiest Way to Mat and Frame your Images in just the right color

This Photoshop Elements frame and mat action set contains actions which make it easy to "finish" your web images, getting just the colors you want. You control the color, width, and appearance of the mat and frame.

"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.

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.
