How to make homemade frames?

How do you go about making a frame such as the one in this example:

Thanks in advance.

Jack,
I originally posted this in another forum, but here it is again,
how to create a 3D frame.
http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=13RZnH4exD8TdEkmW2Vs3p8ZLi9y1m0
1. Set Background color to default white (see Note at end).
2. Image>Resize>Canvas Size, and increase Height and Width by the same amount. This creates a white frame.
3. Using the Magic Wand tool with the Contiguous box checked, select the frame.
4. Set Foreground color to your frame color.
5. Add new layer.
6. Edit>Fill, using Foreground Color option.
7. Window>Layer Styles. Choose the Bevels style.
8. Choose one of the styles. In my example I used Simple Sharp Inner.
9. To modify the bevel effect, click on the "f" symbol in the Layer's palette (truncated in my example), or from the menu bar Layer>Layer Style>Style Settings. This brings up the Style Settings dialog box where you can adjust various settings. You can also modify the frame via Layers>Layer Style>Scale Effect.
If you want the frame inside the picture (not expanding the canvas):
1. Use the Rectangular Marquee tool to draw out the frame.
2. Invert the selection.
3. Proceed with step 4. above.
Note 1: In step 1, I chose white because my picture didn't have any white touching the frame. You can use any color; the goal is that when you do the Magic Wand it doesn't select anything within the picture. That's also why you check the Contiguous box.

  • How to make a frame modal?

    Hei guyz,
    I'm trying to call a frame from another frame (which should basically act like a dialog, but is not a dialog), how can i make this 'child' frame modal, i.e. once im done with the 'child' frame, the focus has to go back to the 'parent' frame and no other component could be opened while a user is working on the 'child' frame.
    Can anyone let me know, how this is possible and is there any other better approach (other than making the child frame, a dialog)?
    Thanks in advance.

    and is there any other better approach How can we suggest a better approach when we don't know why you rejected a modal dialog.
    Based on your requirement:
    once im done with the 'child' frame, the focus has to go back to the 'parent' frame and no other component could be opened while a user is working on the 'child' frame.
    it would appear to me that using an modal dialog is the obvious choice.
    Otherwise I suggest you search the forum. Keywords like "modal jframe" would be a good place to start.

  • How to make a frame with components and JTextAreas on it?

    on the Window 98 System, when you press F1 on the keyboard, you will get a window(frame) where there are "buttons" and "textAreas".
    i would like to create a JFrame like that, but how to realize it?
    thanks a lot!!!

    What do you want to do?
    You can easily create a JFrame, and then create JButtons and JTextAreas and then add() them to the JFrame's content pane.
    But you must know that already, so it must be something different you are confused about. What is it?

    To give focus to an internal frame, do the following (where iFrame is your internal frame):try {
        iFrame.setIcon( false );  // In case it is minimized
        iFrame.moveToFront();     // Make sure it is in front
        iFrame.requestFocus();    // Ask for focus
        iFrame.setSelected( true );  // Select it
    } catch( java.beans.PropertyVetoException pve ) {
    }

  • How to use single frame in a page

    Hello, i would like to now how to make a frame in a page
    without having two or more, i was used to work with GoLive and
    there i could use the grid an put a single frame and make links to
    other pages that would open in that frame, it worked wel for me,
    but since I switched from golive to dreamweaver CS3 i am not able
    to do so. Is there some one how could tel me how to do so, since i
    use a lot of single frames in my pages,
    greetings

    why are you wanting to use single frames?
    They allow having the initial frame address stay in the
    address bar, and not
    show the linked page's address. The problems they cause
    usually override any
    value.
    Or- if we aren't using the same words the same way, please
    give an example
    site of what you want to do.

  • How to decrease photo frame width in photoshop?

    hi guys
    i have a small question to ask to the experts....i want to decrease the width of a wooden frame psd file to suit my design "the frame is so thick"
    simply scaling it down wont do the trick beacuase i will have only small version of it and i want to keep it general size "apart from its width obviously"
    in other words how to make the frame "thinner" but keep the size of it?
    thank you all in advance

    Well, here's one possibility:
    1.  Duplicate the document as several different documents.
    2.  Stretch one of them in the vertical dimension only, and the other in the horizontal dimension only.
    3.  Use the Rectangular Marquee tool to copy the longer, thinner sections independently and paste them in another image.
    Or you could generate a new frame...  There's a great(!) set of free framing actions out there made by a great guy named Bud Guinn online.  My internet connection is acting up today, and I couldn't complete a Google search for some reason, but look for "Bud Guinn framing action".
    Here's one link that shows them off...

  • How to make a child parent relation between 2 frames

    hey ppl i have 2 JFrames n i want to open the 2nd frame on the actionEvent of the first one.. now the problem is if i close the first one that is the Parent frame i want that the 2nd one should also close.... so what can i do to have this parent child relation ship between these 2 frames???

    Sure. You need to call setExtendedState with the proper settings. Check out the API for JWindow, JFrame or JDialog for more info on that. It's not too hard tho
    there's one more issue if i opt for the the JDialog
    and make the frame as its parent can u suggest me how
    to open that dialog in the maximized state... if its
    possible ...
