First, create a new blank layer by clicking on the Create a New Layer icon at the bottom of the Layers panel (it’s the second one from the right). Next, go under the Filter menu, under Render, and choose Picture Frame to bring up the Frame filter dialog. Now, I have to admit, the default frame that Adobe chose here is pretty lame, but thankfully, you’re not stuck with it. In the Frame pop-up menu, near the top right, you’ll see a whole list of built-in frame choices, from traditional frames towards the bottom (like #42: Art Frame; as seen above) to some funky-looking graphic frames (like #31: Zen Garden). Depending on which frame you choose, you’ll either have a lot of options or just a few. These appear right below the Frame pop-up menu, and you can use them to tweak how your final frame looks—you can tweak everything from spacing to color. I hate to say, “Hey, just move the sliders and see what they do,” but since there are 40-something frames, and each one is very different, that’s kinda what you have to do. Once you have the frame looking like you want it to, click OK and it creates this frame on that empty layer you created. To resize it to fit your image, press Command-T (PC: Ctrl-T) to bring up Free Transform. Press-and-hold the Shift key, if you need to resize proportionally, otherwise just click on a top, corner, or side control point and drag in the direction you need it to go to fit your image, then just press Return (PC: Enter) to lock in your transformation.
