HI ALL...
Scarlet & Spanishlady Rider bringing you some more tidbits on using Image Magick Studios.

Alot of new things have been added since it when to Version 6 and this Effect is just one of them.
So sit back,,,take some notes,,,go try it out and enjoy!!!

Click on the "DECORATE" key.
You will see a new component added
COMPOSITE
with the same drop-down features as the "COMPOSITE" that you are used to using has.
Click on "BORDER" or "FRAME",
choose your parameter, color and see what happens.
This is parallell to using the
"PAINT" RESET
function with a few more twists because of your "COMPOSITE" choices.
With this, you can save steps and have a few other alternatives for more control.
Below are some examples in order to give you an idea...
