Have you ever wanted to add a little more to a photo? Maybe add border? Or a caption?
In this video, I will show you how to create these two effects in Photoshop Elements.
Add a border or frame to your image
It should be simple to add a border to your image, but getting a perfectly even border in Photoshop Elements can be a challenge. Here's my no-fail method.
Open your image
Crop your photo to 3.75×4.75 (for a 1-4 in border)
Go to image, resize, Canvas size
canvas-size
Set it to 4x6in with a canvas extension color of your choice.
Your photo will be perfectly centered and have an even border.
How to add text to your photo
Open your photo
Click on the type tool type-tool (AKA the text tool!)
Click to create a line of text
Type your text
Edit the color-font etc as you wish
Click the green tick apply the changes
