I did ask this question at around the same time last year,and last night I tried for around 2 hrs to sort the foll prob.
I want to take part of one image and add it to another.Small bird,to add to a tree for the BF Dec comp.
I used the magic extractor tool,and after a couple of goes,I had a beautiful shot of my Stonechat,with the background deleted(a chequered bg).
The next step I just cannot suss.One has to select the image,to be able to copy and paste.But how do I select the image.I went into the drop down box,marked select,but could not see anything to select.I tried the move tool(a hand) having read somewhere that that is how ones moves the selection.Nothing worked,so I lost my image.
Please,does anyone know how exactly I make the selection,once I have my image I have cut out,in front of me.
Also,do I have to have the image to which the cut out is being tranferred,ready in the box at the bottom of the screen.I have lots of books re Elements 4.0 .They all say,select your image,but I cannot fathom how to do this.Most likely something very simple.
Many thanks,
Christine.
