Worked like a champ! Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, thank you, thank you! I was feeling like a complete and total dolt trying to figure this out and turns out it's easy-peasy once someone tells you how to properly do it!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I have been struggling with this concept as part of a workshop all day! They were trying to tell us to do the way you would do it in the full version of photoshop & I only have elements. Thanks so much for all your help. The only thing you didn't say was that you have to merge the layers together afterwards, but I figured it out.
