Hi all,

I am able to easily create screenshots but was wondering if people knew how to create a nice frame around the screenshot (i.e. iPhone frame) like lots of the screenshots here.

Also what is a good design app, is iWeb any good or is something like RapidWeaver any good? I am proficient with HTML but want something that is easy to knock up and looks stunning and both of those seem to do the trick for an hours work....

Take an image like this, and just resize your screenshot over it.

I'd say Photoshop would be a good start. :)

Ah, OK.

That I am fine with I suppose I was asking whether there was already a tool to do this?

Photoshop. or a free alternative like Gimp. They make tasks like this easy.

Even Photoshop Elements is sufficient to achieve this task.

Also, as to the image itself, get yourself a copy of the iPhone artwork that is available through the iPhone Dev Center: Marketing Resources for iPhone Developers (http://developer.apple.com/iphone/marketing/). This includes a Photoshop file of the iPhone in landscape and portrait mode that make it easier to pop in your own screenshots.
