4. Create a new raster layer, and with the background color set to white, and the foreground color turned off,select your preshapes tool,choosing ellipse as your shape and Anitalias CHECKED, vector UNCHECKED
and draw an ellipse like so:

5. Create a new raster layer and repeat step 4 only this time choose rectangle as the preshape. You can move either one of these images around to line up to your liking since they are on seperate layers. This is what you should have now:

6.Click on your layers palette and turn off layers 1 and 2 so that all you see now is your rectangle and oval that you drew. Then making sure that either layer 3 or 4 is active, go to layers>Merge visible. Now you can turn layer 2(your wood fill) back on and you might want to make sure that your drawing is centered correctly on your wood fill layer.
7. Okay,check your selection tool and make sure it is set to antialias CHECKED and then forget about that tool, as we are not going to use it. Now making sure that you have your merged layer active, go to Selections>select all and then click on your
magic wand tool, tolerance and feather set to 0 and click anywhere inside your merged image(your shapes that you drew), and then go to Selections>invert and you should now have marching ants all around the shape and the outside of the wood fill. I do it this way, as it makes for a nice smooth edge with no jaggies! Like so:

Now go to the layers palette, and make layer 2(the wood filled layer) active, and then hit the delete key on your keyboard, and then go to Selections>None. This is what you should have now:

8.Now got to your layers palette, and right click on your merged layer(the white shapes layer) and delete the layer. This is what you should have now:

9.Now making sure that you have layer 2 active create a new raster layer, choose your preshapes tool again, same setting as before, and using the ellipse shape, draw an ellipse in the middle of the wood image. Remember it is on a seperate layer, so you can move it around to center it after you are done drawing it. Like so:

10.At this point, you should have layer 3 active, if not click on layer 3 in the layers palette and make it so. Now go to Selections>select all, and using the magic wand click anywhere OUTSIDE your white circle, and you should end up with marching ants only around the white area. Now go to your layers palette and click on layer 2, and then hit the delete button on your keyboard, then up to selections>select none. Go back to your layers palette, and right click on layer 3,then delete that layer. This is what you should have now:

11.With layer 2 the active layer, go to Selections>select all, then choose your magic wand click INSIDE the frame in the transparent area, and you should now have marching ants completely surrounding the frame.
12. Now go to Effects>plugins>EyeCandy 3.1, and choose inner bevel using these settings:

Do not deselct yet!
13. Now go to Effects>3D>cutout, and apply a cutout using these settings:

and then repeat this process, only this time choose vertical 4, horizontal -4, everything else stays the same.
14.Now go to Selections>select none, and this is what you should have: Voila! a frame! At this point you could save it as a pfr(I have included instructions at the end of this tut) and send it on to your frames folder, but we are going to dress it up a bit with some screws.

15.With the layer 2 the active layer, create a new raster layer, and using your selection toolwith the shape set to ellipse, feather unchecked, and antialias CHECKED, draw a small circle that will sit on the corner of your frame. Keep it selected, and then flood fill with white. Don't deselect yet! Set your foreground color to black, and choose your draw tooland use these settings and draw a line thru the middle of that circle. Like so:

16. With the screw still selected, go to effects>texture>sculpture, and choose one of the metal presets(I chose silver for this tut). Now still keeping the screw head selected go to Effects>3D>drop shadow, and use these settings: vertical and horizontal 1, opacity 38, blur 6.2, and shadow color is black. Okay once that is done, you can go to Selections>Select none.
17.Move your screw head into position like so:

18. Almost done!. Now go to Layers>duplicate, then Image>mirror>, then Layers>duplicate,Image>flip, and then Layers>duplicate, Image>mirror, and you now have 4 screws that you can position to your liking. Then go to Layers, merge visible, and then back to your layers palette, and make Layer 1 visible(you remember layer 1 right?) and you are done! Now that wasn't too bad was it? This is what I ended up with:

Now on to saving in pfr format so that you can use your frame again and again. If for some reason you deleted layer 1(blank layer) somewhere along the way, just create a new layer, and move it under your finished frame. This is how I save the frame images. There are probably other ways, but this works best for me. Okay here we go.
19. Make your frame layer the active layer, and then choose your magic wand to select the area outside of the frame. Then choose Selections>Invert, so that the ants are going around the outside of your frame. Now go to Selections>modify>contract 3 px, then while still selected, go to your layers palette, and make layer 1 the active layer, and flood fill with white, then selections>select none. Now go to File>Save As, and browse to your frames folder in PSP7. then type in the name you want to save your frame as, and make sure that you add the pfr extension. Like so: myframe.pfr
And that is it! Now when you want to use it, go to Image>PictureFrame, and browse to your new frame!

I hope you have enjoyed this tutorial!
