Tutorial on making frames

Hi, everyone. I made a little tutorial on two different methods for creating frames. It has lots of screen shots, so it's too big to include as an attachment. Instead, here's a link where you can download it free:

http://www.4shared.com/dir/7082519/25cfdc49/sharing.html

Let me know if you find it helpful!

Thanks for the tutorial on frames. I have not really great success on frames for some reason. I will give them a try and maybe it will sink in.

Val,
nice tut. Very useful.
A tip - you say to point to each Bevel style to show its name, in PE6 if you look to the right of where it says Levels you will see an arrow click it and you can select Show names.

What I am doing wrong? I save the frame as a .png file but when I try to open it again I get a message that says, "file-format module cannot parse the file". I am using Elements 6 on Windows XP.

?? Not familiar with that error. Can you save and reopen as a .jpg or .psd file? Can you open other .png files?

Another idea is to Google the error message and see what comes up...
