Picture Frame Actions

A number of viewers asked me how to create Picture Frame Actions, Black and White in Photoshop CC. Others may work differently but here is what I did to create the separate Black / White Frame actions with a 2000px wide photo … have fun !!

1. Unlock Layer / Canvas Size 50 and 50
2. New Layer (Ctrl+ Create New Layer) Colour: ffffff (White)
3. Inner Shadow Opacity 100 6/6/6
