AKVIS Frame Suite v.2.5. New 'Texture' Effect - Drawing on a Surface

Sept. 17, 2007 - PRLog -- Holiday pictures or birthday photos… photos for marriage albums... they have something in common – they look more impressive when decorated with a beautiful frame.

Whether you plan to upload holiday photos on a web-site to share with your friends or you wish to decorate a birthday card, you can rely on AKVIS Frame Suite - it will add elegance and style to any photo.

AKVIS Frame Suite is an impressing collection of edge effects. The software can generate a great variety of photo frame versions (from classic to most fancy frame samples).  
The effects that come with Frame Suite can be easily tailored to your particular photo and generate an endless number of different photo frames. Select a color for the frame; choose its form, its style, brightness, and the intensity of the applied edge effect. You can create a frame with ragged edges, scratched surface, a page curl, etc. It can be a wooden frame with figured carving or a frame with an ornament.

The software gives an opportunity to create a frame out of user patterns.  Just save a square or rectangular pattern as a graphic file and use it to generate your unique photo frame. The result can be astounding!

Version 2.5 offers one more effect - "Texture". The new effect allows applying a texture (chosen from the built-in Texture Library or one created by the user) to an image so that the image looks like drawn on a canvas, brick wall, corrugated paper, etc. Example: http://akvis.com/en/frame-suite-tutorial/frames/texture.php
