This tutorial will explain how to select one object from a multiple item page, such as an alpha, using Photoshop 7.0.

Step 1: Open the multiple item page, File > Open.

Step 2: Select the Rectangular Marquee Tool from the detachable tools menu.

Step 3: Click just to the top left, upper corner of the alpha. Then, drag the mouse to the bottom right-hand corner. This will create a box of marching ants around the alpha.

Step 4: Select Edit > Copy

NOTE: Make sure you are on the alpha layer so you are copying the correct item.

Step 5: Go back to your layout file and select Edit > Paste. This will paste the alpha onto a new layer of your layout.

Step 6: When pasting the alpha onto the new layer, it will be centered. If you wish to move it, select the alpha layer, then using the Move Tool, move the alpha where you would like it.

NOTE: Alpha page created by Kellie Mize, titled CourierStickers.
