Inserting an Image into a Frame

I thought I’d write this tutorial because I see a lot of squished images in frames.
For example. Take this image
Notice how the kids look tall and skinny
In the frame layer use your magic wand, click inside the frame, modify expand by one or two.

Now make a new raster layer
Drag it under the frame layer by pulling it down.
Now go to your image, copy and paste as new layer, resize as needed.
You see that part of my image is hanging out of the frame. Simply go to selection, invert, and then delete.
You’re image fits so much nicer inside your frame now. I do this all the time, I rarely do paste into image anymore.
Add drop shadow to your frame layer, merge visible, add accents and you’re done.
