This is a tutorial to show how I get the small frame around my images.

Cellar this is for you.

No files needed except your image.

 

1. Open your image or you are welcome to use mine if you wish. Right click on the snowman and save to your folder and open it in Paint Shop Pro.

Let me explain, if your image has enough space all around the actual image, You can go to selections, select all.

Next go to selections, modify, contract by 10 or any number, as long as it clears the main image. Mine is contracted by 10. Below is a partial image after contract.

Next, invert the selection, now we have a border.

 
2. Now for the fun. Keep selected, go to effects, reflection effects, kaleidoscope.

I used the settings below..

 I also added a drop shadow with the following settings.

Vertical and Horizontal; 3

Opacity; 43

Blur; 13.00

Color; Black

Repeat the drop Shadow changing the vertical and Horizontal to; minus 3.

 

If you can't add the border like in the previous steps, as in, there isn't enough room around the actual image.

Make sure you have merged your image. Go to image add borders and type the number of pixels or how wide you wish your border to be. For the color of your border, use a color that is entirely different from your picture. With this picture I used the color pink for the border. Use your magic wand, tolerance; 0,  feather; 0, to click the border. Now that it is selected, we can change the color using the flood fill tool. First add a new layer and flood fill. I used color;#8db4df.

Now you can add the kaleidoscope effect

There you have it, how I do those pretty frames.
