 CUSTOM PICTURE FRAMER SOFTWARE
Framers have been creating beautiful picture frame and artwork displays for centuries. While many still utilize the traditional techniques, in this age of technology, computerized programs have are inevitably being developed with the intention of simplifying the framer's multitude of tasks.

This article outlines some of the primary framing programs on the market today, considering their various features and costs. We will not cover computerized mat cutters (CMCs); to learn more about that software, see our Mat Cutters Guide.


 IMAGE FRAMER
This program for Mac users is completely computer-based, but offers photographers and other artists the opportunity to see their artwork in a variety of frames, mats, and other styles without having to travel to a frame shop. The images in the program are rendered from real photographs of picture frames.

  • More than 700 frame selections, updated regularly.
  • Frames can be adjusted with brightness, saturation, and colorizing tools.
  • Shadows, mat layers and thickness, and text can be altered and added.
  • The Pro edition lets users edit their own frames.
