Hi Shyrell,
I'm glad to see that I am not the only one struggling with Photoshop. It
can be a frustrating and confusing program, no matter how many books and
tutorials are available.
Photoshop classes are not being offered at our local community college at
this time, so the opportunity to learn from another "real" person, isn't
always there.
I am learning a lot from the responses to your questions, however.
Take Care,
Marilyn

Subject: Photoshop backgrounds/foregrounds
snip - Another thing I can't figure out is how to get the new background
useable for the clone tool to clean up the lines connecting the two
photos. I can clean up the lines on the top layer but can't do anything to
the new
background. Hope I haven't said so much it's hard to understand. (Or not
said enough.) - snip
Submitted earlier but no response...
What I'm trying to do is take a piece of one photo out (i.e. - person,
animal, flower, etc.) and add it to a different background but be able to
work on the new background as well as the foreground. I know how to erase
the background of the original photo and copy/paste the subject into the
new background. But how do I make the new background changeable
(workable - able to be worked on)? If I'm not making sense, ask me some
details.
Thanks,
Shyrell
