Photo frames and borders

A frame clips a photo to a shape. A border draws a line around it. Both are on the Photo group of the toolbar and both appear the moment a photo is selected.

Put a photo in a shape

  1. Click the photo.
  2. Open the Frame list in the Photo group of the toolbar.
  3. Pick a shape.

The twelve options are None, Rounded, Circle, Pill, Arch, Blob, Hexagon, Diamond, Heart, Star, Seal and Speech.

  1. If the wrong part of the picture is showing through the shape, slide it — move the photo inside its frame.

Add a border

  1. With the photo selected, click the Border colour swatch in the Photo group and pick a colour.
  2. Set Weight. 0 means no border. Anything above 0 draws a line all the way round, following the frame shape.
  3. To turn a border off again, click the ∅ button next to the colour swatch. It remembers the colour, so clicking it again brings the same border back.

Empty frames from the Elements panel

Elements → Frames does two things depending on what is selected:

  • With a photo selected, clicking a frame applies that shape to it.
  • With nothing selected, it drops an empty frame on the page that you can fill later.

The same panel also has Page borders, which are decorative edges for the whole page rather than a single photo.

> Note > A frame is not a crop. The whole photo is still there behind the shape, which is why you > can change your mind, slide the picture around inside it, or set the frame back to > None and get everything back.
