Advanced Photoshop has joined up with pro-framer (www.pro-framer.co.uk) to offer you an easy way to frame your prints.

You might have noticed that, underneath your images in your gallery, there is a new banner that offers to help you design a custom frame for a print of the selected image. Click that and you’ll be taken to the Imagine Frame Design Studio.

There are just seven steps to purchasing a frame that suits the image you have chosen. First, is to select your wall colour.

Next you can upload an image (if you haven’t already selected one), then you can pick the size of the frame that you want.

You can then get creative and pick the mount and frame that suits your chosen image.

There are then additional options if you wish, but when you’re happy with the preview, then you can go straight to payment. You’ll then be sent a beautiful frame that complements your chosen print in the exact size that you need!

A great way to show off your artwork! And a lot of fun to play around with too… Check it out now!

Advanced Photoshop, in association with iStockphoto.com, is offering four digital artists the chance to see their work on the cover of the magazine, as well as win some great prizes.

iStockphoto.com has supplied ten fantastic images, which can be downloaded from www.istockphoto.com/createacover. You’ll need to log in to an iStockphoto.com account to get the images, but don’t worry if you don’t have one as registration is free and easy.

Artists must use at least one of these images and Photoshop to design a piece of artwork worthy of being on the cover of issue 65 of Advanced Photoshop (December/January). There will be four winners, with four collectable covers available, who will each receive £500 cash and £500 of iStockphoto.com credits.
Full details can be found at www.advancedphotoshop.co.uk/competitions_istockphoto.php and the closing date for entries is 23 November 2009.
