Give Your Images a Professional
Presentation
Most photos or designs, from family snapshots
to a professional portfolio, can be improved
when properly displayed or framed. For
professional designers, a powerful presentation
can help keep an art director happy. For
photographers, an elegant display can make all
the difference in securing a new client or
keeping a current one. Even snapshots look
more professional when you add a digital matte
or a simulated frame. Photoshop makes it easy
to show your images in a professional manner.
You can add mattes and frames to enhance any
image with minimal effort using the frame
actions included with Photoshop. You can also
create your own mattes and frames or change
the matte and frame colors. Photoshop can also
help you apply an artistic edge to a photo using
a sequence of filters from the Filter Gallery, or
you can brush an artistic edge onto any images
by hand using the Brush tool. You can add
space and borders to make a photo look like a
gallery print. You can create a contact sheet as
a visual index of all the photos in one client
folder or on one CD or DVD. You can prepare a
custom slide show with professional transitions,
burn it to external media, or save it as a PDF
document and send it to friends or clients as an
e-mail attachment. You can even use Photoshop
to design and upload your own photo gallery to
a website. With Photoshop, you can display all
your images with a professional touch.
