Elements 6 - Frames and Signature

[tpiorkowski]

Is there a way in Elements 6 to add a simple digital frame and signature to a photo?

I see many people adding this nice touch to their end product.

Any help would b appreciated.

Thanks,

Tom

Tom, open an image, and make all your adjustments, resize or crop as needed, and then under the Window menu item, check the"Content" panel. You should get a panel of various features you can add to your image. Click the little "frame" icon, second from the left. Then select various themes from the drop downs. When you find something you want to try, either double click on it, or single click and then hit apply. If you don't like the result, just Undo.

Be careful, and stay away from the "trash can" icon at the bottom of the panel. Many people mistake this for "delete the effect" from the image, when in fact it deletes the effect from the panel.

Signatures, could be either from fancy text fonts, or could be done by actually scanning or photographing your actual signature and turning it into either a PNG file that can be added as a layer, or made into a brush that you can stamp on each image.
