Elements 10 users...how do I pick an item from a photo and put on a blank background?

I have figured out how to go in and use the quick selection tool to select the object ,but how do I copy /paste onto another background? There isn't a copy/paste feature that I can find.(Plus how do I get the background layer part up at the same time?)

After you have made your selection with one of the selection tools, go to Layer>new>layer via copy. This will place the object on its own layer - a great advantage as you can change the layer's opacity, and the blending mode
Next, place a blank layer below the layer created in step #1, and fill it with color, a gradient, texture, or whatever for your replacement background.
Position the object with the move tool
If you want to copy/paste, go to Edit>copy, Edit>Paste. Whatever you paste will be on its own layer.

  • How do i take a head from one photo and put it on a body on a different photo?

    I want to take the head of one person on a photo and place it on a different photo?  How do I do that in Photoshop Elements??

    Try this:
    In Editor, go to the expert tab.
    Open picture B, the one you wish to select something from to add to another picture.
    Use one of the selection tools, e.g. selection brush, lasso tool, to select the object. You will see an outline ("marching ants") once the selection is complete
    Go to Edit menu>copy to copy the selection to the clipboard
    Open picture A, then go to Edit>paste
    Use the move tool to position object from picture B.
    In the layers palette you should see picture A as the background layer, and object B on a separate layer.

    how do i download a picture from my scanner and put it on photoshop thank you

    You don't "download" anything, and you don't put anything "on Photoshop".
    You save your image in your scanning application using whatever file format supported by Photoshop you want (PSD, TIFF, PNG, JPEG, etc.), and save it in whatever folder on your computer you want.
    Then you use Photoshop to open your image file wherever you put it.

    How do i take a playlist from my itunes, and put it onto my ipod with the new itunes?

    For music that you've purchased from Apple that are on your iPhone you should be able to copy to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. Also if you are in the US then you should be able to re-download past music purchases for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    For your own music that you've copied, then if you haven't got a backup on, for example, external drives or CDs/DVDs then you could see if any of the utilities mentioned in this old post still exist and work

    Carefully select the objects of interest in one image and then copy, scale and position them into the other image. Then touch up the composite.

  • How do you remove a person from a photo and replace her with another person

    How do you remove a person from a photo and repalce her with another person.

    There are many tool and "tricks" to accomplish this manipulation. However, depending on the image one technique might be more appropriate than an other. And then there is the question of how to do it "skillfully". For example, the shadows in the person that is being substituted might be different than in the original image creating the obviously "photoshopped" look.
    Doing an Internet search on your posting title brings up lots of examples.

  • How do I take the music from my iphone and put it on Itunes - PC

    My daughter erased all my music off my itunes on my pc by mistake.
    How do I transfer the music from my phone to my itunes....

    If you were using a Mac you could use a program but AFAIK there is nothing similar yet for the PC.
    However, you should have a backup of your music, correct? Just restore from that backup to your computer (and, if not, at least this will teach you the importance of always backing up your music purchases onto writable media like DVD).

  • How can i cut the audio from 1 file and put it on another?

    I have these2 files of the same movie, 1 is amazing quality but theres no audio. the other is crummy quality but has perfect audio. How can I cut the audio from the good audio version and paste it onto the good video file?
    btw i have quicktime pro is that changes anything

    Open the movie and press "Command J". This will bring up the properties window. Click on the Audio Track or Video Track and the "Extract/Delete" buttons will light up. Click "Delete" and it'll delete the currently selected track, click "Extract" and it will extract the selected track into a new movie. Just use Delete on the correct track and you're halfway there.
    Then, select the movie that is just an Audio Track now, do "Command A" then "Command C" to copy the audio track. Go to the movie that's just a video track, move the insertion point to the beginning of the video then do "Option Command V" to add the Audio Track to the Video Track side by side.

  • How do I erase all aps from ipad 1 and put them on ipad2?

    My ipad2 has shipped. I want to give my ipad1 to a colleagues=, but I want to give it to him without my stuff (music, email addresses, aps, photos, etc.) as if it is all new.
    I also do not want my itunes to assume that the ipad1 is still a device I am using. In other words, I want to eliminate the ipad1 from itunes and all my personal stuff from the ipad1 device. Does any one have any procedures to follow?
    upgprof

    Open iTunes with the original iPad attached. On the Summary page click Restore. You will be asked: " Back up" your device or "Don't Back up". The choice is yours but it reply doesn't matter since you can begin with your new iPad fresh, or set up from the back up. In any event the iTunes content of songs , movies, TV shows, podcasts,  and photos calendars etc can all be done fresh since the info is on your computer. Click "Restore" and Apple will extract the software, and restore to factory settings (with iOS 4.3.2), ready for the next owner. Once the process has completed and you have received the message that it is OK to disconnect then do so. now you are ready to connect your new iPad2 and begin the set up just as you did for the original iPad (or iPod, or iPhone since the process is identical). The mobile apps that you have are on record with the app store and they will be synced to your new device once you confirm your iTunes Store/App Store ID; there will be no need to re-purchase them.
