Hi ...

There are various ways of doing this ... take as an example the baby in the shell. First open the baby photograph, select the baby using any of the selection tools then copy and paste it into the shell photograph

Next position the baby above the shell and erase the lower part of the baby to make it appear as if it is in the shell.

Or ... make a selection around the front part of the shell and copy and paste it onto its own layer. Then place the baby below the layer with the front part of the shell in it :)

Hi Zeeka, first off yes it is possible to do that in Elements.
The guy on YouTube is using the pen tool. Elements does not have that.
But Elements does have the magnetic lasso tool and other selection tools.
So it's not a problem.
