I need to put an arrow on a photo to point to something. But when I use the Shape Arrow, the arrow disappears when I stop dragging it to the size I want. Also if I use the line tool, the arrow is oddly shaped and not shaped like a simple arrow with a simple arrowhead.
When I'm working in an image, and in other places, the cursor is a horizontal series of symbols rather than the pointer arrow I'm used to in PSE 6, 10 and 11. The left side of the symbols is where the cursor is at.
I don't know what this is about, and don't care. I want the pointer arrow I'm used to. I've looked in Preferences but see nothing that applies. How do I replace these hard to use and irritating horizontal symbols with the pointer arrow?
The cursor on Elements has changed from an arrow to a fine orizontal bar with arrows at each end and is proving virtually unusable. How i can get the original white arrow back?
When trying to place an image into a new document in photoshop elements 12, I select all-copy-paste the image (or even drag it) over to the new doc created. However, when I do this - the image does not paste in at the same size. It typically shrinks down in size. Do I have to save the file, close out and then open the new doc and PLACE it in the document in order for it to keep size? There must be a better way to do this. Basically, how can I drag a photo that is 4x6 over to a new doc while keeping the size at 4x6.
in elements 11 how can I extract a person from one photo and insert that person into another photo? I'm totally new to this and my software booklet doesn't say and I'm lost.
I did use the scissors and eraser tool to cutout unwanted background, and now I have an image I want to save and copy to another photo. The problem is that Elements 11 won't let me open up another photo at the same time, or let me copy the selected image to clipboard to paste on a different photo.
I have PSE 11 and I am creating a Christmas theme with various pictures. I have my main photo with 6 layers including a tree and figures which I can move independantly and the background is the checkerboard as the main layers are turned off with only my selections showing. I also have another photo where I have selected part of it and also turned off the main layers leaving a small part with checkered background. When I have the main photo loaded and drag the other one from the photo bin with the move tool, nothing appears on the main picture. I have already dragged the Christmas tree in the same way and that worked. By the way, all the files are .PSD.
I have Photoshop Elements 10 which I work with sparingly. I would like to outline a section of the photo (a face) and somehow select it to be the whole photo - in other words to get rid of all background elements. I can outline the area with lasso, but do not know how to just save that area. When I save, the whole original photo is saved. I also tried the magic extractor, which really worked to make just the face and crop everthing else out, but it has a white background the same size as the original photo, which means it is essentially a reactangle with a face in it. I am trying to just get the face so I can paste it into a document, sort of like when people put heads on fake bodies. This is for a church newsletter. I have done this with my old Picture It software, but that was on my old computer. I think I should be able to do this with all the gadgets Photo Shop has, but I must be missing something.
How can I blend a photo into another photo. In other words, when I load a picture into elements 9, and I load another picture on top of that one, How do I fade it in where it is seen but but is faded in?
I have Photoshop elements 9. I want to put a photo on to another photo I have. The first photo I want to be the background. I go to file, open and select my photo. It is labeled background in my layers area. Then I add another layer which is labeled Layer 1 and go to file, open and select my photo. Right away my original background photo disappears and the new photo is the background and Layer 1 disappears. How do I get my background to stay and the next photo on my background.
In my sports photos too many have blurred soccerballs or volleyballs. I am looking at removing the blurred object and replacing with a new clear object.I am new to Adobe Photoshop.
I am trying to add a watermark to a photo. I have changed destinations (creating new folders), changed names, changed numbers, over and over but I keep getting this popup:
Please choose a document name, serial number, or serial letter so the destination name is different for the different input files.
I'm using the File> Process Multiple Files method.
I'm try to add text on my photo, somehow it does not print on text box, but I can see the contents in text layer box. I tried to change font and color of the font, but no luck.
