Dani7 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Hello, I'm new to Affinity Photo and I am taking an online class to improve my skills on software such as Affinity Photo. However, my class' instruction video tells us to create a frame, like in order for us to put a picture in it, (screenshots attached) but I cannot for the life of me find the equivalent on AP, because my course is using Photoshop. I am so confused. I am not looking on how to make a picture frame on a photo I uploaded. I'm looking for where is the tool that you make a square/rectangle with an X inside and then can upload photos to! Please please please help me if you know what I'm talking about! I just downloaded AP too, so it shouldn't be that it's out of date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Komatös Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 @Dani7 You are welcome. In my opinion, picture frames make no sense in a photo/image editing programme. In a DTP programme, however, such a picture frame has its justification. As a (picture) placeholder for e.g. catalogues.

iconoclast Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 If it makes sense or not, you should be able to create a frame for example by using a selection, that you can fill on a separate layer on top. Or you could place your image in a document that is bigger than the image and use a separate layer with e.g. a white fill, as a kind of Passepartout or background. Or you could also use the shapes for it, with no fill, but a contour in the width of your choice. It depends a little bit on what you mean with "frame" and which method you prefer.
