Adding "picture frames" in PS elements

[Stronach]

Hi all,

This is a really basic question I know: I'd like to add the picture frame style borders around some of my pics but am not sure of the best way to do it. Is there a tool for this or do you have to do it manually? :shrug:

This is the kind of thing I'm talking about (not my pic):

And while I have your attention, what are people using to add their signatures to the pics? I've even noticed that someone has the picture details (lens, aperture/shutter speed etc) incorporated into the frame too... I assume this is an auto feature of some sort?

Thanks,

E :)

I'm sure someone will come up with some more ideas. Sorry I can't help personally, I use M$ Digital Image Suite.

As for adding sigs/info, I think it's the same in PS, just add a text box and type.

Sorry about the long link don't know how to shorten it.

There you go Richmond ...

Short Linky (http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/pho...ge_Effects.htm)

Type your Linky name ... highlight it ... clicky on the 'ball & chain' above the text input box ... and paste or type your url in the space provided ... clicky when done and Bob's your jolly old ... ;)

You do not mention what version you are using Stronach ... :thinking: ... the upgrade to PSE 5 does provide some borders to 'automate' the process ... :shrug:

And Richmond was right ... text box inputs provides for siggies and data within borders ... or anywhere else for that matter ... ;)






:p
