How do I cut and paste?  I want to change the background around a Christmas tree

How do I cut and paste in Elements 10.  I want to change the background around a Christmas tree.

One way would be to open the background image, then go to File<Place and select your christmas tree image.
Now you have two layers.
Make a selection of the christmas tree with the Quick Selection Tool and then add a layer mask.
Now you can see the background around the tree.
Of course your selection may still need some tweaking, so you could paint on the layer mask to further refine the selection.
What version of photoshop elements?
example before: (didn't have a chritmas tree image handy)

    how do you cut and paste on an imac

    If you're talking about cut and paste as you would do with files and folder on a Windows box you do it in a round about way.
    Either Copy ⌘C, (Yes copy not cut), and then move, ⌘⌥V (a variation on paste ⌘V).
    If you're a mouser.
    Right click the File and choose Copy from.....
    The right click the folder you want to move it to but hold down the option key and Paste item.....
    ...will change to Move item here.

    There is 3rd party software that makes cut & paste easier with just 1 or 2 steps. 
    Q2 how do I correct a spelling error when it has a red line under it?
    You can find the correct spelling in the Apple dictionary.  Just add the correct spelling & delete the error.
    Care to share which OS you are using and which model iMac you have?

    How can I cut and paste from a webpage to a Word document without the document taking me to the web address when I click on a word in the document?

    You are trying to copy a link, it is most likely in a different color such as the words "Microsoft's own forums" in his post. In Word highlight the word or words, control click on them, select Hyperlink, then Edit Hyperlink, then delete the link from the top box. It will then have a button asking if you want to "Remove Link", click on it.

  • How do you cut and paste text from Adobe Reader 11 into Word?

    Using Windows 8.1.  Recently purchased Adobe Reader 11.  Need to cut and paste text from PDF into Word docs.  Docs are not locked and content should be available for editing.  Have figured out how to highlight the text through the Comment tools, but nothing (right-clicking, going to Edit pulldown) menu gives me a Copy option.  How do I cut and paste the text?

    Good to know that I got what I paid for with the Export PDF.I just went
    into the document that I am trying to cut and paste from and highlighted a
    piece of text.  Clicked right, checked the Edit pulldown, and then did
    Ctrl+C (assuming you meant Ctrl and then C, rather than holding them both
    down together).  Still no Copy option anywhere.
    Properties for the document I am trying to work with do say "Content
    Copying: Allowed" under Security. Since I can highlight text, I assumed
    that the text is there (not a photo scan) so that I can copy it.  Should I
    look somewhere else under properties to confirm this?
    As I did last night, I also opened up a document that I have cut and pasted
    extensively from before-so I know the text is there and manipulable.
    Attempted to cut and paste from it, using the same methods above.  Again,
    no option to copy with any of them.
    Perhaps I should clarify that by cut-and-paste, I do mean that I want to
    copy the text from the original and then transfer it to a Word doc that I
    am writing.  I am not trying to do anything with the original other than
    copy from it--not cutting anything out of the document itself.
    Is there a way to do this with the Adobe 11 reader.  At this point, I am
    wondering if I need to uninstall Adobe 11 and try to go back to Adobe 10 or
    whatever the reader was that was installed on my computer when I bought it
    (Dell Inspiron touch-screen laptop purchased in May 2013, if that gives any
    idea of which reader might have been installed there.  That version did,
    however, have some other limitations that made me want to get Adobe 11. Any
    ideas about what to do now.

    How do I cut and past on my MACBOOK PRO?

    You can use the hotkeys, as Steve said. It sort of sounds as if you can't right click though.
    If you're using the touchpad, go into system preferences>trackpad, enable "secondary click, tap with 2 fingers". Then, when you click/tap the touchpad with 2 fingers instead of one, it'll right click, giving you the option to copy/paste whatever you highlighted.

  • How do  I cut and paste files on Mavericks?

    How do I cut and paste files from Mac to External Hard disk? I was copying them and later moving the files from Mac to trash and then emptying the trash. This is so lengthy and time wasting process that Apple

    Press and hold command as you're dragging and dropping: that will move the file, in stead of copying it.
    Two other things that might be handy:
    * option-drag will force a copy, even if the file is on the same volume
    * command-option-drag will make an alias to the file/folder.

  • With PS 7  create new  Place two objects on the new file  then you may cut copy and paste Cs2  create new  place two object on the new file Cut is not available how does one cut and paste in new file

    With PS 7
    create new
    Place two objects on the new file
    then you may cut copy and paste
    Cs2
    create new
    place two object on the new file
    Cut is not available how does one cut and paste in new file

    If your using File>Place then photoshop cs2 creates what's known as Smart Objects, which photoshop 7 didn't have.
    In photoshop cs2 you can rasterize the smart objects and that should make the Cut function available.
    Select both placed layers, right click on the area to the right of the tumbnail and select Rasterize Layers.
    If in photoshop cs2 you to Help>Photoshop Help and look under Layers>Smart Objects, that should give you a good overview of what smart objects are.

  • How do I cut and paste an appointment and change the appointment date?

    I have just moved to the Iphone 3GS after many years on Windows Mobiles so it's all new to me, but how do I cut and paste appointment information?
    I also need to be able to change the date of an appointment, but could not figure out how.
    Thx
    Bryce

    That's fine for changing an appointment date, but is there a way to "copy" an appointment and paste it into a new date so that the date of the original appointment isn't lost?
    For example, I have an appointment that occurs every 4-5 weeks, and we set the future date at our meetings, but I need to be able to go back and review earlier when earlier meeting dates took place to be able to track milestones. If I simply change the current appointment date I'll lose that history.
    In Outlook I can simply copy and paste an appointment into a new date, but I'd like to be able to do so from my phone for when I'm not in my office. How can I do this?

    How do I cut and paste sets of lines for use in various Math questions?

    Thank you for your reply. My problem is much simpler than you are thinking. As a teacher I prepare sheets with random number generators.
    EG. 256 + 389= ______    or         467
                                                 -  384
           469 + 753= ______     
    or  5)750
    On a PC I was able to start a page of A4 with one set and then drag and drop down and across the page.
    On my Macbook I can get the numbers in but the lines do not copy. I asked at one of my One to One sessions and it had my 'trainer' stumped. He said he would make enquiries but so far no news. I am using Numbers.
    I hope I have explained my 'problem' satisfactorily.
