How you frame a photo can have a big impact on the viewer’s perception of the scene. This is true of a physical frame you’d hang above the mantlepiece, but it’s also true of any creative treatments you add to the edges of the photo itself.

In this month’s download, you’ll find a set of 26 organic borders – textured, fine-art edge effects that have been handcrafted with real brushes and acrylic paint. Adding one of these to your landscape shot will immediately inject an extra dose of artistry to your imagery.

Applying them in Photoshop CC is really simple. Here I’ve outlined four ways you can use these organic borders to enhance your scenic shots.
