Can't decide if you want to frame that photo or mat it? Here's a quick shadow tip to help speed up your layout designs. If you have a photo on top of a paper mat and want to make it a frame instead, just use the inner shadow style on your photo. How easy is that?
Instead of opening a frame mask/shape and clipping the paper to it, you can simply change the shadow style on your photo image. In this example, we have a simple rectangle paper mat with a photo above it.

You can do it with shapes too! How awesome is that?
