Frames how-to

[ellenfr]

I want to double matte a photo on a page with a background. The inner matte will be a 10 pixel black and I want the outer to be a half-inch patterned matte. I have scanned in the pattern from a piece of scrapbooking paper. How do I do the two mattes? I want the the mattes and picture to be moveable and sizeable.

Thanks--I have a bunch of these to do (with different pictures, patterns and sizes) and would like to be as efficient as possible.

Thanks

You should be able to do this by placing each element on it's own layer. Adjust your canvas size to what you want the outermost matte to be. Then you can size your other matte and picture accordingly. The ruler and/or grid tool can be especially helpful for exact sizing. Hopefully this helps!
