Hi Cindy,

Can you explain a little more about what you mean by a Moulin Rouge (fantasy) photo?

I would call that Art Deco. . . one of my favorite styles. Love it. I'd like to see a tut on that too. Shar

Here's a tutorial on giving a photo an art deco effect (for photoshop), possible doable (or workaround) in Elements:

Any Ideas on how to capture something like this?

Autumn,

Here are some tutorials on combining photos to make a movie poster type image. Some of them are written for Photoshop but may be doable in Elements if you get a Layer Mask action such as Grant's Tools.

An easy way to blend photos and colorful graphics, clipart and other elements, etc. is to get Grant's Tools for the Layer Mask, if you haven't already downloaded this addon. You can find it here:

Make sure you download the right version for your Elements version. I believe the instructions are included in the downloaded zipped folder.
