You can open your image in Full Edit the select the content tab and choose the frames section.

Select the move tool and drag any frame on to your image in the main window.

You can also create your own custom frames using brushes and a layer mask.

I'm using a purchased copy of PSE10 and would be surprised if you have a limited-feature trial demo, but even if that's the case, use the Stroke method I described.

Are you using the standard, standalone desktop PSE10 installed on Windows, or some other kind of program?

Ken

Photoshop Express has it’s own forums for iPad, iPhone, Android and the cloud based application on the web.

I'm the Windows guy, so one of the other folks will have to jump in.  Hopefully, you'll get the opportunity to use the "real" Elements -- it's a great program...

1. Open picture file in Editor
2. Go to Select>all
3. Set the foreground color chip (lower left corner) to the color for your simple frame
4. Go to Edit>Stroke(ouitline)selection
5. In the dialog, select location ---inside. Set the width in pixels ---try 8 or 10---experiment

Hello,

I don't want to derail this thread but I am very new to PSE and have a question?

In the photo in reply #1, two tabs are showin and mine only shows one.  I have the Effects tab but not the Content tab.  Is there somewhere I need to go to be able to view that tab?

For the record, I just finished a 30 day trail of PSE9 and purchased PSE10.  Neither version had Content as a choice in my edit screen.

TIA,

Patty

You can make a simple black border by extending the canvas size e.g. by one inch or whatever you prefer.

1. Open your photo in Full Photo Edit

2. Click Image à Resize à Canvas Size

3. Change the dimensions by + 1 - in my example I would type 5.167 x 3.7778 or change the dimension dropdown menu to centimetres and add 1 cm.

4. Select color black at the bottom of the dialog

5. Make sure the anchors point in all directions.

6. Click OK to surround by a black border on all sides.
