- When you're managing a photo in Lightroom,…another reason to pass it to Elements…is to add graphics and text.…Here, I have another version of the photo…that we're working on in the last movie.…You can use this version from the exercise files.…I've already added some texture and some sepia toning,…but now I want to add some graphics,…a frame perhaps or another background.…Here in Lightroom, I'll go to the photo menu and choose…Edit In, edit in Adobe Photoshop Elements.…I haven't added any more adjustments in Lightroom,…so I'll just choose edit a copy and click Edit.…
Here in Elements editor, I'll make sure…I'm in the expert edit workspace and I'll come down…and I'll click Graphics at the bottom…of the column on the right.…That fills the column on the right…with some graphics to choose from.…I can sort through those using the menus…at the top of the column.…I'll go to the first menu and I'll choose to show all…and then I'll go to the next menu and here are…the categories of graphics that you can access.…I'm going to go for a frame graphic, so I'll choose frames.…
