PhotShop Elements 5.0 HELP!!!!!

[Janet]

Do any of you know anything about PhotoShop Elements 5.0? The main thing I'm wanting to do is like take an object out of a picture and be able to put it somewhere else. Some of the technical talk is way above me sometimes so I'm not sure what I'm suppose to do.

I found this Janet. I hope it helps!

Create realistic composites. The Background Eraser lets you create professional, seamless composite images. By dragging the tool across an image, you can erase the background without affecting the object (such as a person) in the foreground. Then copy and paste the foreground object into another image to create a composite.

Just what I needed Angie...thank you so much. Where did you find this? I may need to check a few other things out.

I do want to let you know Angie, how much I appreciate all you do to help everyone. You are a real sweetheart and you're loved very much.

I've never used Elements so I just did a quick google search for something along the lines of "separate an object from the background using Elements 5.0". There were lots of articles, but most weren't helpful so I just went down the list till I got one that seemed to fit your need. Here's the link. I didn't post it because there were lots of other things too and the part you needed was about halfway down. I didn't even think about the fact that you might be interested in the other stuff too! Silly me! I hope this helps.

Thanks for the compliments, but I think you ladies here give much more to me than I could ever return!

I think that it's so great that we all feel that way about each other. I know that I GET so much more than I give on here. It's so hard to explain our friendships to anyone who isn't on here!

Yeah, I completely understand. When I say "my friends on a forum" I get some very strange looks. lol. If only they knew...
