How to Put a Frame on a Photo in Adobe Elements 5
Adobe Photoshop Elements enables users to enhance digital photos with text, borders and effects. The Palette Bin contains various tools to apply to images and layers. To create a framed photo, first create a blank canvas and select the frame style and color for that layer. A photo placed in this layer retains the selected frame effect, so the frame resizes with the picture. Experiment with the built-in styles and tools in Photoshop Elements to create a striking photo gallery.

Tips & Warnings
Add "frame" to the file name to specify that it is a framed photo.
Consider exporting the image as a JPEG or a TIFF file, instead of a .psd (Photoshop) file.
Be sure to save your framed photo as a Photoshop file so that it can be revised in the future.
