MY FIRST POST.
I've done pretty well sorting out a lot since Father Christmas gave me Elements 7!
BUT....I'm having problems with layers/masking and selecting.
I have a child in a "fussy" background. I want to move her to a plain coloured background, but end up doing something wrong. I'm sure it's really simple!.
Could someone please give me simple step by step instructions. I've used the Selection brush to mask her but can't seem to transpose her onto the background and erase the border around her. Thanks. :cool:

Hi Caggie, and welcome to Elements Village.

We were just discussing a similar topic in another thread. Here is the link, where I have given my favorite method for extracting a subject to place on a new background.

If you have any further questions after checking that out, let us know.
