note: Typically, audio files are associated with a computer’s default audio player. Selecting Edit Original for an audio file may therefore open
it in an application, such as Windows® Media Player or iTunes®, that is not designed to edit files. You will not be able to edit audio files in
these applications.

If video frames need correction or enhancement, you can automatically open the frames in Adobe Photoshop Elements after you export them as

5. In the Photoshop Elements Editor, edit the image (apply filters, styles, effects, brush strokes, and so on).
note: If you resize the image, it may become distorted in the video frame.
6. If you added image layers, choose Layer > Flatten Image.
7. When you finish making changes, choose File > Save.
8. Accept the default choices for file location and name, and click Save.
9. When Photoshop Elements reports that a file with the same name already exists, click OK to replace the file. Then click OK in the BMP
Option dialog box.
Premiere Elements automatically updates the frame in your movie.
