You can also use these masks with many other photo-edge plug-in products such as Auto F/X Photo/Graphic Edges and Extensis PhotoFrame. Below are just a few examples of what you can do with these masks. All but the last example has a solid white background, but you can achieve unlimited effects using the masks with textured fills and gradient backgrounds. Just say no to rectangles!
