Re picture frames: Good old Paint Shop Pro had that feature built-in, but you can do that more or less with Macros in PD.

Find or create an image that you'd like to use as picture border, with a transparent area of course. Open an image you would like to apply the picture border. Now record a macro:

1. Open that border image as a new layer
2. Choose Layer, Size, Fit to Image

Save the macro. These are stored in PhotoDemon\Data\Macros\ - Close PD Open your macro file in notepad exe, you will see that there will be an empty <Parameters></Parameters> field for the new later from file action, enter the path to the picture border image, save and start PD

Now run the macro on an image, should work, it does for me which is why I posted the "edit path" example here https://github.com/tannerhelland/PhotoDemon/discussions/586

Thank you for posting this issue, @sy1529599740 . An Arrow tool is planned for a future version of PhotoDemon.

A "picture frame" tool is technically very simple to add. The problem is shipping a useful collection of frames. I am not an artist, and I have not looked for a good public domain source of high-resolution frame images.

If someone knows where to get a good collection of public domain frame images (preferably in vector format, like SVG), I could look at shipping this feature sooner rather than later.
