many thanks for the tip, KatWoman.I must look that website up.

I would have been tempted to buy Autofx Photographic Edges (looks class),
but any demos over the years haven't worked that well for me.

You have gotten some good links already. I've been using the old PhotoFX (ba
ck
when there were ~4 CDs and no real interface), and have about 30 (out of may
be
2000), that I use often. If you don't find what you want, you can also make
many of the "edges" with Quick Mask, and different Brushes. You can also run
various Filters on the mask, to get some wild effects. With the possible
exceptions of the "Polaroid" edges, one can duplicate and manipulate to thei
r
heart's content. I often use Painter (now Corel) to get some textured edges,
then bring them into CS2 for use. Save your edges as TIFF (or PSD), so you c
an
size them for most images. Create a Folder for your edges and paint away.

Have not tried the new PhotoFX, but would assume that it has more, and maybe
is easier to use. The old ver had a book with each CD and one had to look
there (often with a magnifying glass), then navigate the CD.
