Cannot add FX to image in frame

[gumbo23]

I'm beginning a new project, and am rusty. I've created a master page for an image on the left and text on the right. But, dragging an image into the image frame, and switching to Photo persona, I cannot add an outline to frame the image. 

If I click fx in the main panel on the right every fx option is greyed out.

How can I fix this?

All my images are PNG. Would this affect the process?

Thanks.

Using 1.10.6 and Ventura 13.2.1

@gumbo23  It is those little x-marks at the four corners of your image that show you what you need to fix.  Because the Picture Frame Rectangle Tool was used on your Master Pages, you could place images on each of your document pages, but cannot edit them as they are.  You need to highlight the Master Pages Layer in your Layer Panel, then right click and choose Edit Detached from the dropdown menu.  The four x-marks will disappear from around your image and be replaced by white dots.  Then use your Move Tool, click on your image, and you can use the FX options, including adding an outline.

If you need to put borders around every image (on many pages) then in the Pages Panel, hold Shift and click on each page so that they are highlighted in blue, then go to the Master Pages Layer and right click, and choose Edit Detached.  That will release all the pages you have highlighted, so that you can move from page to page, creating any FX effect that you want.  I hope this helps!
