• 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 4. Double click with the left mouse button on the texture window to open the Library.

Here is the same picture, but we have changed the texture.

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".

Here is another choice of a classic frame from the texture library:

Let's try to use another style of the frame with "Bella Donna":

• Step 1. Let's increase the canvas size. Call from the main menu of Adobe Photoshop Image->Canvas Size, set the values of the parameters and save them.
• 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 to apply the result and close the plugin window

  Here is the result:

  

  You can try other frames.
