PS Elements How-To Question - 07-05-2009, 10:04 PM


I stopped using Elements for a while and I've just started playing with it again. How do I place an all black layer/frame behind my photo? Also is there a way to set this up to do it for a batch of photos. Also, what's the easiest way to set up a watermark or signature for a batch of photos?

Thanks!

You might get more answers at Elements Village.

Note: I'm trying to learn Elements also (switching from Paint Shop Pro).
Hope this helps.

Or you can just make the canvas bigger and make what you add black.

Check out Kelby on line training. Cost 20 bucks a month but loaded with really helpful tutorials. Bail out after you think you know enough. (I'm there forever probably)
