Changing/removing frame around photos

Hi, I've tried everything but I can't seem to change the appearance of photo frames at all, after dragging them in.

Quote from the very bottom of page 15 of the iweb online manual "You can also change the style of the picture frame around each photo. For instructions, see “Changing the appearance of photos in a photo grid” in iWeb Help."

I then searched in iweb help but found no answers. Can anyone help me please?

Thank you for your time.

Mac OS X (10.6.5)

drag a photo into the photo element on a photo page.
Then click on the photo and a dialog box will pop up with style options. Choose the style you want.
I'm not sure but different page themes may have different photo frame options.

Hope this helps,

David

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Select the photo you want to change, go to the Inspector/Graphic pane, click on the drop down menu under stroke and select Picture Frame. There you'll find many frames to choose from.

If you want over 80 more frames that are hidden in iWeb but available to choose from with some simple effort try the following:

The standard IWeb, Pages and Keynote applications have only 24 frames for applying to photos. This application changes the preferences files for those applications to make available nearly 80 additional frames: Frames and strokes installer for :iWork ’08, iWork ’09, iWeb ’08 et iWeb ’09.

Be sure to keep the install package as upgrades to iWeb, Pages or Keynote, and possibly updaters, will remove them and you'll have to reapply it go get them back..

I'm using iWeb 3.0.2 and Modern theme. This question seems to have come up but my inspector bar does not offer the frames selection. I'm not using iWork, do I need iWork to be able to edit the frames that are automatically formatted when photos are imported onto Modern theme?

Let me know asap, thanks everyone!

You have to have a photo or the entire photo element selected for the frames selection to be available.

So, select a photo or select the entire photo element
Go to the Graphic inspector window
With a photo selected, set the stroke to whatever you want.

To get the additional frames mentioned above you'll need to download and apply the Frames and strokes installer for :iWork ’08, iWork ’09, iWeb ’08 et iWeb ’09.

Close iWeb, run the installer, and then relaunch iWeb. Go to the Inspector/Graphic pane, click on the Frame and you'll see the additional frames displayed.
