Thanks for the help. Ive just tried it out on a photo i took at the BTCC at Croft this year. I like it

not bad, not bad.

you can extend it further and put a nice black border round it by increasing the canvas size (image > resize > canvas). make sure the background colour is set to black.

One I prepared earlier

Make a new layer (Ctl+Shift+N)
Click on the new layer (in the pallets) and the (Ctl+A) moving ants around the whole layer. Name it Frame
Use the eye dropper to select a colour from your art work (or any other colour by any means)
Menu Bar - Select Edit, Stroke, choose pixels (just trial and error) say 8, inside
Double Click on the Frame layer to bring up the layer style helper and tick Bevel and Emboss.
You will now have a frame on a separate layer!

Obviously this is not the only way but this way you are able to make frames using gradients, patterned, shadowed, the list is endless. More importantly because it is on a separate layer you can make as many alterations as you like - including the trash can!

Hope this helps
