Framing

Frames effects.

Generates various different styles of frames, a solid frame or a blocky frame, or a radial frame. These frames are not in the mold of a frame plugin so there is no input source JPG etc., but using these sliders and the mixing of colours you can create an interesting set of blocky frames. You can also apply them as an edge to a selection to say have an interesting highlight around a certain point of interest in a picture.

Please note that some of the controls have multiple purposes - the prime purpose is indicated. Also note that some of the controls will have no effect such as the X and Y if the (*) has not been set to on. Some of the options in the dropdowns use the X Y, or if no inverse option is set then the () will be ignored. Also note that the preview might not match the end result - especially if the setting is at less than 25% or so - to get a 99% accurate view of the end result please set the preview to 100%. In some cases even this will not be correct as the integer mathematics of the filter will have problems if certain settings are cranked to the extreme such as in line effects.
