Taking a photo in New Pokémon Snap is only the beginning. While taking a good one will net you a lot of points, you will probably not get the adoration of hundreds of other players online by posting the photo as is. With stuff like Stickers, Filters, and Frames, you can make your photos stand out more, and become one of the most famous Pokémon photographers around.

Frames, like Stickers and Filters, are used to customize your shots so as to make them stand out more when sharing them online. To use them, you will need to access Photo Editing mode in the Photodex or the Album.
