Okay, I see images posted by Joe Lorenzini, Jaggz, and several others that all have a nice frame around them and some sort of logo. I would love to be able to present my images like that but every time I try to do a frame it takes forever and doesn't look any good. Can someone tell me how to do something like this, make it look good, and process quickly? Thanks!!

I use a couple of methods. There are many frame actions out there you can download and run. Another method is to just changes the canvas size fill the new area. if you want two colors, change the canvas size again.

here are a couple of actions http://users.adelphia.net/~window/Actions.htmhttp://users.adelphia.net/~window/Actions.htm

another vote for the actions! The ones that I use are the Kubota actions I believe. Then the "logo" is just a brush.

There is a great plugin I used to have that does amazing frames.
The author offers a free version that is good, and a paid version that really rocks.

I had it on my last system. I need to reget it for my current system, but have to recall the guy's name/site.

I think is was something like "Mike's Frames"

I think this may be it (the site looks different from what I remember though):
