Graphics?

[heatherstine]

This is probably a pretty elementary question but I can't seem to find the answer. How do you add more graphics to the program? In another threat I was directed to some free downloads but I can't even figure out what to do with the files once I get the. Does regular ole clip art work?
Any help would be appreciated.

Most of the time I just put downloaded graphics into a folder and open them from the PSE Editor when I need them. If you have PSE5 it is possible to add graphics to Artwork and Effects but usually I don't bother - but if that's what you want to do we can explain how to do it.

As for clip-art it all depends on what the file type is - but most will work - or there are usually ways to make them work.

Treat your clip art as you do your photos - open them - move them - work with them - same as you would your photos.

Whenever possible - keep the extras out of Photoshop Elements. The more stuff you add to Elements, the slower the program runs. Even stuff like brushes can be stored "outside" Elements and loaded as needed.
