PSE7 beginner - How can I do this - see attached photo.
I have a question on the attached photo, which has been photoshop'ed by a friend of the family (out of State and I don't have her number).
I know he did it with photoshop, and I wonder if I can do the same thing in elements.
I'm still trying to understand what he was doing, then someone could give me a clue as to what he has done and I would like to know if this is something I can do in PSE 7.0.
The part that interests me is the frame surrounding people in the family photo. Has he done something inside the frame (and how) to highlight the area inside the frame or he did something (like) outside of dull in this area (I suspect the latter, but don't know what or how he did it.)
I think I have the text included; just a text layer, isn't this.
If someone could help me with the business framework.

(P.S. I hope that the attached picture comes through OK.)
Ron,
As a beginner you will soon discover there are many ways to accomplish a task. Here is a way. For example I cropped the portion within your framework and worked from there.
1 use the rectangle to draw the frame.
2. Add a new empty layer.
3. on the blank layer edit > stroke. In the STROKE dialog box, I put the width to 4 px white color and a location inside. This step creates the white frame.
4. Add another layer of vacuum.
5 invert the selection so that the outside is now selected.
6. use the color picker to choose a green tint (I used 205,233,109 RGB values) and fill the selection with this.
7 lower the opacity of this layer. I used 40%.
The color fill layer has a blend of Normal Mode by default. You can experiment with alternative merger to get slightly different results.
Also, try other shades of green and different opacities.
You can do everything on the background rather than on separate layers layer. I did it just to show what is happening. And of course with separate layers you can always delete and start again.

When I have a message in Outlook Express, which is a .jpg image I see about 1/5 of the image without scrollling it up and down and from left to right. It is a problem that arose after some other problems with my computer. How can I change this?
When I have a message in Outlook Express, which is a .jpg image I see about 1/5 of the image without scrollling it up and down and from left to right. It is a problem that arose after some other problems with my computer. How can I change this?
=====================================
Outlook Express is not automatically adjust pictures to adapt to the
the fact of the screen as Windows Picture and Fax Viewer.If you receive photos that are more than 640 x 480
scrolling will be probably needed. On this day of
very high-resolution pictures... unless the senders
resize photos before sending them, they will be huge.In Outlook Express... If you go to... Tools / Options /.
Read... tab and check the box... «read all messages»
clear"... you will not see the photos in the
body of the message, but as an attachment.Then you can left click the paperclip and the click left one
file name photo and Windows Picture and Fax Viewer
will launch for photo viewing.Best bet would be IMHO to save photos in a folder
disk your hard drive and view them from there. Personally
I prefer the original versions to receive total sizes of the
the photos because they are best for printing and editing. -

When I try to open any video feature posted on my comcast home page all I get is a black screen. the same thing when I try to open

How can I solve this problem.
Thank you for your help.
Y_BrownThis does not happen on my computers. Try to download Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and see if that makes a difference. I also recommend the safe boot and checking the virus. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

In the levels layer, I have only the option of 'grey '. When I create a fill layer, I can only see different levels of grey, not the color I chose. How can I change this?
Hi elizabethu,
Greetings!
Make sure that the image is not in gray mode.
If it is to change it to RGB mode.
Image-> Mode-> RGB
And try again.

The page won't scroll down to see all the content. How can I solve this problem?
My pages please scroll to see all the content. I don't want to scroll on home pages, comments, or contacts, but I want to scroll pages with thumbnails.
For example this page:
http://megancampagnolo.com/loves.html
How can I solve this problem?
Widget slideshow on the page seems to be pinned and pinned items are not considered part of the content of the scroll bar.
Then, select the slideshow in design widget and unpin it.
Thank you

ElCapitan update macOS/Sierra tonight. Photo open. Wallpaper (behind photos) used to be black, now it is white. How can I get this back to black?
I believe the Photos app exactly the same under MacOS Sierra there as it did under OS X El Capitan on the background color.
The background color is (and was) white when usually browsing photos. But when you edit a picture, the background color turns black.
To edit in the Photos under MacOS Sierra app, press the circle button. (This button is used to say "Change" under OS X El Capitan). You will then see the black background.

I attempt to backup my iPhone several times and it does not backup. I received a message stating "several files were not available at the time of the backup. How can I solve this problem?
Hello Lope8725,
Looks like you are trying to backup either iCloud or iTunes, but you have found an error on files being unavailable. Can reply you with the exact wording or a screenshot of the message you are getting?
In the meantime, you can solve the problem with either of those two sections depending on whether or not it's iTunes or iCloud:
If iCloud backup could not be completed or if you can not restore
or
If your iTunes backup could not be completed or you cannot restore from a backup
See you soon!

When firefox opens as a new tab opens with a video download program how can I stop this
When I opened ffox what it also opens a new tab on if I want to download a video software... How can I remove this.
Thank you
captjackSorry, I read too fast. This happens any time you access your home page? For example, using either:
- CTRL + n (start a new window)
- Click on the Home icon in the toolbar
If Yes:
You can have a second put tab in place in your homepage layout. Please see these articles:
If this setting is clean, please review your extensions as stated in my previous answer.
If not:
Sometimes problems occur only at startup.
- If the tab is linked to an update of the extension: you should see this tab once and not every time that you start, but Firefox may be not recording the 'you have seen' setting correctly. Please see this article on the failure of save the settings: How to fix preferences that will not save.
- If the tab is not related to an update of the extension, please review your extensions as stated in my previous answer. Keep in mind that Firefox is not delivered with all extensions, they are all optional.
