Are there any differences between the two? I have both but can't see any differences to help me with my task. What I want to do is to use a portrait photo and put a white border of different sizes around it and then put a text tiitle in the bottom border.

I have spoken to a more experienced user and rezied the canvas and image which hasn't worked (as I want the top border smaller than the bottom. Neither can I enter a text box in the border.

Can anyone help, please?

In the editor. go to Image>resize>canvas size. In the dialog that opens up, you can specify the extent of the canvas extension. The drop-down provides both a linear scale & percent. Note the anchor points that target the locus of the extension. Also note the color extension option.

Photoshop Elements usually has more than one method to accomplish a task.  So here is another:

 

  • Make sure that white is the background color in the palette.  (Simply press D which is the default.)

 

  • Use the crop tool with the option set to No Restriction.

  • Drag the crop rectangle around the existing photo, then use the size handles to extend the crop beyond  the current borders of the photo and accept the crop.
  • Use the text tool and click in the lower border and type the caption you want.

Hi

Premiere Elements is for video editing whereas Photoshop Elements is for image editing, I'll move the thread to the Photoshop Elements forum for you
