I got Photoshop elements 9 for christmas! :thumbs:

I want to be able to put a white border around my photos with the info of the photo on there eg NIkon D50 1.6sec ISO 600 etc etc

Ive rumaged through the tech sections and tutorials but cant find anything but i think i might of missed it!

Can someone help me in the right direction please??

Thanks in advance
 
Sam I'm not sure if you can do it with Elements but with Photoshop you simply use the image/canvas size option. Increase the canvas size and choose the colour you want for the additional canvass. This should then show outside your picture. Once you've done that you can add text to the new border.
 
Ok thanks Andy - ill give it a try in elements and let you know!

If it doesnt work am i able to add something on top of the image in elements?

Sorry if its a silly question but ive not played with elements much since getting it for xmas as ive been busy with uni work :(
 
i did it - not bad for a first attempt i think

This months digital camera mag has a video disc with exactly that on it, in Elements. Its in one of the black and white tutorials. As well as the white border you can put a bevel effect around the photo on the inner edge of the white border.

Then just use the text tool to add your camera info as desired.

Sounds like a useful tutorial. However, sometimes it's best to learn how to do these things and then leave them well alone. Simplicity is the key to good presentation. If you make your frames and borders too fussy you detract from the photograph you are trying to show.
