Introduction

A new feature in Photoshop Elements 3 is the ability to add a frame to your pictures when you choose Picture Package or Labels in the Print dialog. You can use any transparent image as a frame and add it to the collection of frames Elements uses for this feature. First I will walk you through how to create a suitable frame, then I will lay out the steps fer getting Elements to use it.

If you already have a transparent PNG file, and you just need to know how to get it into the Picture Package menu, you can skip ahead to the last page.
