I have Photoshop Elements 7...want to make a copyright on my photo. Could you help guide me?

Question

I've been able to find info on how to make a watermark directly on the image, but I'm looking for a way to add a white frame around the photo with copyright text inside the frame. The frame/copyright would then become part of the .jpg. Is this possible in Elements 7?
Thanks so much!

Quick and easy ways to add a white frame is with the Crop Tool.



1. Use the Zoom Tool set on - (minus) to make the image smaller. Use the Move Tool to pull the boundary out away from the image so you have some room to work. Select the Crop Tool and draw a crop boundary around the entire image. Don't click the green Commit checkmark yet. Hold down Shift+ALT and pull one of the corners of the crop boundary out. All the sides of the boundary will pull away in the same ratio as the image's so two sides will probably be wider. Hold the ALT key, grab a middle side and pull in or out to make equal with the other two sides. Click the green commit checkmark. Change the foreground color to white and use the Paint Bucket Tool to fill the transparent area around the photo. (This really is quick once you get familiar with it)



2. Click on Image>Resize>Canvas Size Enter the amount you want the margin around the photo to be and click OK. Use the Paint Bucket Tool to fill with white. Use the Text Tool to type in the margin.

ordinary: pay the photographer for using his/her photo. you receives an un-watermarked photo. A watermark shouldn't dissuade a imaginative and pushed thief. What that's going to do is make your photo so gruesome that it gained't draw any major factor of admiration. the answer's to placed up a low decision photo, say round seven hundred pixels on the lengthy aspect. this can render the photo unusable for all of us who ought to do you major damage, as in getting funds out of your photo. Who cares if some shlubb makes use of it for wallpaper on his smart telephone.

Create a new layer. Select All. Choose Stroke from the Edit menu. Make stroke "inside" (or enlarge canvas). Choose thickness of stroke, choose white.



Once the border is as you like it, just type your copyright text inside it.
