Lightroom and Capture One Pro Plugins Included!

We created plugins for round-trip editing from Lightroom and Capture One Pro that we install automatically along with Frame Weaver, and we register Frame Weaver with the operating system, so you can select it to edit TIFF, JPEG, BMP, or PNG files, and send multiple files for batch processing as well as single images. We're using this for processing images in DxO PhotoLab 9, for example, and it works great. On mobile, you can select images from your file system in the main Photos app on both iOS and Android.

Why Did We Make Frame Weaver?

Photographs without borders and frames are just photographs. While there is nothing wrong with that, would you tack a photograph to your walls and call it art? Probably not.

When we add a border, a signature and a frame to a photograph we assign a certain prestige and value that the two dimensional digital image or even print can hold on their own. When we display our work without a border, we rely completely on the environment in which the image is displayed to make it feel the way we would hope, and more importantly, we are saying to the viewers of our images that we feel that this peice is more than just a collection of pixels on a screen or pigment on a page.

Here is an example. A small gallery wall, with photographs that have been processed to use a classic thin black frame with a single matte, title and EXIF data, and a signature and Japanese stamp, all applied in a batch export from Frame Weaver. For a more casual presentation, such as individual images for home wall art placement, you might sample a color from each image to stain the wooden frame texture with, and select a double matte, for extra depth, as you will see in the second set of images, all created with Frame Weaver.

Now, for comparison, here are roughly the same size images just pasted to the same wall. If I was selling these photographs as wall art or fine art prints, or even making a proposal to a gallery owner, I know which presentation I'd take with me.

The History of Frame Weaver

In August 2013, I sat one Sunday afternoon and wrote a set of scripts to resize images, add a border, and offset them by a set percentage above center, as is often done with fine art prints. I called them the Fine Art Border Scripts, and I sold thousands of copies.

In June 2021, I created Fine Art Border Tools, or FAB Tools, an Adobe Photoshop plugin based on the original scripts that has since become quite feature-rich and has sold well for me. If you are wholly in the Photoshop ecosystem, FAB Tools are still available and still for sale, but now, thirteen years after I made the first scripts, I am extremely proud of the third generation of these tools under my new brand, Fiction Loom, and I hope you find this collection of framing and resizing tools useful.

If you have any questions at all, please drop us a line. We'll be more than happy to answer them.
