Border and Edge Effect plugins??

Border and Edge Effect plugins??

2009-10-27 by LouisD

I need to add some borders and edge effects to a series of photos for a job (both B&W and Color images).  I don't want to take the time to do a lot of experimenting or manual borders.  

I know there are probably lots of Actions and plugins out there that do a great job.  I'm using PSCS4 on OSX 10.5.8.  

Any recommendations for good Actions or Plugins?  I prefer free, but I don't mind paying for a decent plugin if it is really good, flexible and not too pricey.

Thanks, Lou

Fancy borders usually overcompete and weaken photographic images. You might consider narrow black borders instead.

Check out:
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1306/is_12_73/ai_n21156440/?tag=content;col1

Note that the article (without the original images) is spread out over three pages.

Thanks, Alan.  I generally agree, but that is not what I need here.  I need fancy borders at the client's request and would like to find something with a number of options.

Many free frame/edge actions at 

http://www.atncentral.com

If you could post links to 'fancy' examples of what you're looking for, that would help.
