The author of this tutorial is Gordon Sisson. He used Adobe Photoshop, but you can work with any other photo editor compatible with AKVIS plugins or the standalone version of AKVIS ArtSuitе.

So let's start with Leonardo da Vinci and his famouse painting "Mona Lisa"

  • Step 1. Open an image in Adobe Photoshop.
  • Step 2. Call the plugin from the main menu of the photo editor Filters->AKVIS->ArtSuite.
  • Step 3. Let's choose the frame style from the drop-down menu Frame at the Setting Panel. The first will be the Classic style.
  • Step 4. Double click with the left mouse button on the texture window to open the Library.
  • Step 5. Double click on the appropriate texture.

  • Step 6. Change the value of the parameters as shown below.
    Choose the appropriate frame

Let's take Edgar Degas "Dancers in Blue". This painting is calling us to dance with these ballet-dancers.

Here are the variantes of the frames:

The next painting is Rene Magritte "The Blank Signature" that brings us to the world of absurdity and muddle.

Let's try to frame his painting in different frames and then choose the most suitable one.

Here is Paul Cezanne’s "Ginger Jar and Fruit". This painting is worth framing too.

And the last but not at least is Georgia O’Keeffe’s "Bella Donna".

  • Step 2. Call the plugin AKVIS ArtSuite from the main menu of the photo editor.
  • Step 3. We choose Classic frame for this painting but you can choose any other frame from the drop-down menu Frame and set the values of the parameters as shown below.

  • Step 4. Press the button Run to start the process of the plugin and then press the button Apply to apply the result and close the plugin window
