What's even more helpful are PNG picture frames, especially ones that already have the middle cut out for you so that all you have to do is lay the frame over the picture to get the full effect.

They'll work in most image editing, illustration, presentation, and page layout software. To use one of these picture frame images, the photo that will go with the frame has to be behind/under the PNG so that the transparent portion will reveal the photo below it.
