I've had several requests lately for some new Valentine's themed presets/layouts for PhotoFrame 4.5 Professional Edition, so I sat down this morning, put on some Taylor Swift music in the background and created a few layouts in PhotoFrame 4.5 Professional Edition.
The presets use three different backgrounds that were originally designed by Kersti Malvre and were first included in the PhotoFrame 4.5 release. Each also has a different camera edge frame that is blurred out and set to black to give a unique and non-symmetrical vignette. The first preset also includes an adornment from Vicki Taufer. All presets use the same photograph frame that was designed by Vincent Versace.
To download these free presets, click on each image below or just head on over to the onOne Exchange.
Please note, the fonts/typefaces used in these presets are not included in the preset. The type was added in Photoshop after I applied the presets to the photo. Links to where you can purchase each of the fonts is included on the onOne Exchange.

I created a new preset for PhotoTools 2.5 Professional Edition and it is posted on the onOne Exchange. The preset is called High-Pass Contrast Mask and I created it on the expo floor at Imaging USA in Nashville earlier this month when a PhotoTools 2.5 user asked me if we could get this specific look he was trying to get. He seemed very pleased with the effect so I thought I would post it for everybody else as well. I hope you enjoy it. Here's a before and after example of the effect on a photo I took of my daughter recently.
