Sulaco Mar 2, 2014 8:25 AM (in response to heather Iles)What you want to do can be done in many different ways and it's usually not as easy as "by the touch of a few buttons". It's very dependant on how your images looks, resolution etc. Posting the picture in question is a good idea, as was already suggested by another user here. There is no short and easy answer to your query! If I was you I would head over to Adobe TV/YouTube and have a look at some tutorials on how layers and masking works in Elements.
And since Photshop and Photoshop Elements are quite different; this question belongs in the Elements forum!

4. Re: Background clutter
heather Iles Mar 2, 2014 9:04 AM (in response to Sulaco)Thanks Sulaco for that. I now realise that it is not easy. I tried to attach the photo but it was too big and didn't know how to reduce the size, so gave up. It is not an important picture, but I thought it would make the perfect picture to practice on. You don't learn anything from the easy ones. That is why all the videos I looked at with deletions didn't really help me.
I had looked at you tube, but not in masking. I looked at some of their layers, That is when I thought that the deleting might be done in layering.
I will keep at this and let you know how I get on.
Thanks for your trouble.

Since you are using Photoshop Elements 11 (different program, than Photoshop), I will Move your post to that very active, and helpful forum. Your link, and any e-mail subscriptions will follow.
Good luck,
Hunt

For attaching an Image to the forum Reply, you can use the little "camera icon," in the Forum Editing Screen, so long as it's a JPEG, or PNG. Also, attaching Images is usually not possible, if doing the Reply via e-mail, or from a mobile app. One can do it, however, if they access the forum via a Web browser.
If you can let others see what you need to edit out, it will be very useful.
Also, PsElements has some different functions, than does Photoshop, so there might be a simple way to do what you want.
Good luck,
Hunt
