Turn a png. into a picture frame. Possible?

[MZD]

Hello all, 

For a person who cannot draw, is it possible to open a png. in Designer, trace it, convert it to curves (?) and save it so to be able to convert it to a picture frame in Publisher? 

For example, if you want a flask (like the one attached) to be a picture frame, is this something possible to do? if so, can someone please share the steps of how to do that?

Thanks for your help.

You don't need to use Designer, just open the image in Publisher, trace around it using the Pen Tool, then go to Layer - Convert to Picture Frame. If you need help using the Pen Tool, just look in the Help, or search Google.) You can save it as an Asset if you want to keep it for reuse.

@PaulEC Your directions worked perfectly. Many thanks.

Another way is just to create a picture frame as normal, add an image to it. Then use your flask image as a clipping mask over the picture frame image

It saves having to trace an image. Especially if you have a complex image you needed to trace
