I know that this has probably been asked several times before but . .

Evening Everyone

Please may I ask if in Elements 2, it is possible to have two images open as in a before and after shot, so you are able to see what the changes made to the image are.

Thank you
Terri

Hi Terri ...

I know how to do this in Photoshop but I'm not sure if you can do it in Elements ... I will keep on looking and let you know if I find anything :)

Hi Terri

If Wendy can't find an Elements workaround for the Photoshop option you can always try this;

Keep an unchanged layer. Say you have a background or other layer before the change and another layer with the change.

Click on the unchanged layer and hold the alt key on a pc, option on a mac I think, and click on the eye in the layer pallet. This will turn off all layers except the unchanged layer.

Click on and off a few times and it will toggle between the changed and unchanged version.

Sometimes I think this is better than side by side because differences jump out at you more.

I don't have elements 2 so I am not sure it will work the same

I would just duplicate the image when I opened it.

Evening

Thank you all for your replies to my question . .

Why did I not think of just duplicating the photo?

Small grey cell's . . where are you ?
