Photo/Graphic Edges
Vendor: Auto FX Software
Purpose: Set of 14 photographic effects that give images a unique, artistic look
Description
Photo/Graphic Edges 6.0 comes with a massive collection of 10,000 Edges, 1,000 Matte
Textures, 175 Frames, 230 Effect Brushes, and 210 Light Tiles that have been created
professionally using the software’s 14 edge effects. Of course, it is not just edges—once
you have defined an edge, you (or the software) can fill in the areas defined by the edges.
Built around SmartLayers technology, Photo/Graphic Edges allows you to turn on, turn
off, clone, move, and add new layers. All the effects are non-destructive, with multiple
levels of undo, no matter how many times you make editing changes.
Comments
Photo/Graphic Edges has much in common with the vendor’s other software: similar
interface, same platforms, system requirements, even price. But this one has been
updated repeatedly, making it quite good value, especially with all the additional content.
Stand-alone and plug-in versions are both included.

PhotoFrame Pro
Vendor: onOne Software
Purpose: Specialist framing software that adds border and edge effects to images
Description
PhotoFrame Pro gives you (literally) thousands of options for adding border and edge
effects to complement your images, all with real-time preview. Some of the frames are
brought together in special collections, chosen by well-known photographers. The interface
allows you to find the right frame easily in a browser, while a preview grid lets you
compare multiple frames at once. Adventurous people can even use the random frame
generator, in the hope that serendipity will make the decision for them.
