Paperclipping 108 – How to Make a Frame with Rounded Corners in Photoshop Elements

Paperclipping 108 - How to Make Rounded Corners in Photoshop Elements

Do you remember the collage of heritage photos I made for a layout about my dad’s crazy 1940’s baby stroller? There was a request for me to make a tutorial on how to wrap a collage of photos with a frame like I did on that layout. Today’s episode for the Paperclipping Members will walk you through it step-by-step using Photoshop Elements. The good news is it’s very easy!

Below is the one I made in today’s tutorial…

    Oh, boy I had trouble with this but I finally got it! It's going to work great for some pictures I was prepping for a layout tonight. Can't wait to see how they look when they get back from the processor. I had a setting in the stroke set wrong and it was messing me up.

    I would've loved to have a word integrated in with the border. Does that make sense...like being able to put the word adorable right in the line. I suppose that is probably just a matter of putting another layer on top of the line? If you have any inclination to try that and teach me I'd be an eager student!

    I would love to see some more PSE stuff. You do such a good job with it. Might even be willing to pay an additional subscription if you didn't want to focus too much on it in the regular PC episodes. I know there are a lot of options out there but I just love these little short podcast formats.

  • Great & easy to follow tutorial. Keep up a good work Noell, cheers.
  • Indeed a good one, thank you for sharing this tutorial, i really appreciate this favor!
  • As usual, your tutorial is well-done.

    That said, I have to say that I am just completely overwhelmed with the idea of using Photoshop. I'm not saying I'll never try it, but there's just something about the learning curve required that makes me want to run from it.

    I love the look of the rounded corners frame, though. I guess I am an impatient scrapbooker who just uses her pictures as-is, with no tweaking of colors, saturation, etc.

    But as I said, I'll never say never--I may try Photoshop and never look back. Right now it sounds totally overwhelming!

  • Karen, next time you're in the mood for learning something new--you know, to get new juices flowing--you could consider this, but there is definitely no need. I understand it seeming overwhelming. When/if you're ready, you'll find it's not a big deal when you try just one little trick at a time. My tutorials keep things very basic and I think you'll find they're not that hard.
