Can anyone give me any hints on adding frams in photoshop cs2?

At the moment I only have 2 that I got free with a CD.

When I add them to a picture I normally copy and paste it in as a new layer, then press ctr+T, then I resize it till it fits on the image.

The problem is it sometimes looks a bit uneven. Are there any online guides or tutorials?

Also is there anywhere I can get more frames for free :-)

Thanks!
 
There's a couple of ways...

If your using Photoshop once you have the crop size that your happy with change the canvas size rather than the image size, I do this twice, once to add a small white border and then again to add another larger black border, and then resize image so that 800px is the longest size...

There is an plugin for Photoshop somewhere on here by Cowasaki that does it automatically and also adds Copyright info and your name etc which costs £10...
 
Diitto I do as Nissan man does.I use cs2 and I have recorded it as an action so you can just run it.
I don't do the resize to 800 though,Is this for web display or am I missing something.

ps. Just to add to nissanmans post after enlarging your canvas eg.by 200 pixels. You should be left with a white border around the image then select the image crtl and A or layer select all then go to edit tab and choose stroke, set to inside and colour black choose amount eg 50 pixels and your done black and white border.
