I am just learning elements and I am trying to make my own photo corners how do you get it to that stage where you can just drag and drop . where your image is nothing in the back ground or it looks like a empty matt behind your corners?

HELP!!!! lol willing to share my finished so called art ..

Basically you just need to get rid of your background layer. You can hide it so that it's not visible and then save out your finished photo corners as a PNG file.

HTH! And post if you need more help/info!

so how do i get rid of the back ground lol i am using the wand to get rid of the things i dont want but then what do i do?

First let me ask this... Do you just have one layer with everything on that layer (i.e. background and photo corners )?

I usually create my elements on their own layer and nothing on the white background layer. Then when I'm ready to save the element to share with others I turn off the background layer in the layer palette and save as a PNG.

If you have everything on one layer you'll have to select the background and delete it. Then you'll end up with just your photo corners left on the layer.

Does that make sense or help you out any?!?

LOL about working on it for 2 days. Just think how well you learned your technique though. That's how I've learned all my best lessons... lots of trial and error.
