What is a Frame?

On the FotoFusion canvas, each image and text item lives within a frame. When you pick up and move an image around over the collage, you are really moving the frame, which pulls the picture or text along with it, like an object nested inside a box.

Frames can blend together colors, images, and tiles (background textures) with varying opacities. Image frames can have borders drawn around them, and use with mattes and gradients to produce different edge effects:

Frames can have text attached to them (Enhanced and Extreme versions only).

Smart Frames can be downloaded and applied via the Search hover. These frames have dynamically resizable borders, which can be manipulated in size and thickness to suit your image. Some contain layers to make your image appear old, wrinkled or distressed in a variety of ways.
