I was hot shit with Photoshop some years and versions ago. I don't know what I was thinking agreeing to photoshopping frames onto 26 12x18 images.

I figured I'd just google frame templates, but I can't find anything I can use- either wrong scale or color or too complicated to figure out the actions and how to edit the actions to make them do what I want.

So, can anyone walk me through setting up an action set to put a 1" frame (preferrably beveled) around a 12x18 size image? Or forward me to a site with a template?

Thanks!

I've crated some resizing actions. I just googled how to make actions. Basically mess around and figure out the exact steps you need to do to make your frame. Then you go to the action palette, hit record, follow your steps exactly, stop recording and that should pretty much do it.

You might want to read a couple tutorials on how to record an action to find the one that makes the most sense.

I worked it out and remembered as I did it. It took a while to activate the synapses, but they pretty much triggered...

Thanks!

(what would have taken 10 minutes about 10 years ago took 2 hours. sigh.)
