Framing an image with text for exhibition:

[MehalD]

I am presently using a trial version of Affinity Photo 2 and have looked at the many video tutorials to see if any of them cover the subject of creating a simple picture frame upon which text can be added. And I am afraid that no-one seems to have covered the subject at all, leading me to think that Affinity Photo 2 is not capable of achieving the result that I require.

At present I am able to do this seamlessly in Adobe Photoshop version CS5, and have been using the technique for many years, in fact I have created an action (Macro in Affinity Photo 2 speak) that creates the basic frame and I just then tweak it with the text before uploading the image to my photo lab for printing and mounting.

However, the point of this question to the forum is. Am I able to create the same in Affinity Photo 2? I am not particularly bothered if I am unable to create a Macro, all I wish to do is create the picture frame, and then be able to add the text, and to this end I have attached an image of one of my exhibition prints to illustrate what I wish to achieve.

I look forward to any replies.

Creating some sort of frame and adding text to that is an easy task and of course can also be done with APh or ADe. - See ...

 

And to give you some ideas of also other possible framing things here, see for example this thread which covers some different framing themes ...
