I figured out how to put a background on my 12x12 paper. Thanks to ya'll. Ok next question, I have chosen the picture that I want to use. It is on the bottom of my workspace. When I click on the picture, it pops up on the main workspace. Either I have the background or the picture. How can I have the background with the picture on it. Am I clear as mud or what. Help. Thanks.

If you are using Photoshop Elements, you need to make sure your move tool is active (top tool in the tool pallet or you can use Shift-V). Select the photo you want on your background, select the move tool, then just "drag" it down to the background. Now you'll be able to move the photo around on the background.

HTH~

I think you're having the classic PSE3 photo bin issue. To see more than one image at a time click on the four squares in the upper right hand corner just below the X to close the program. Now you should be able to easily drag and drop between images.

HTH! I'm glad you broke into the box and started playing.

ok.. I would recommend that you get a nice easy book on using PSE 3.0.. or try doing a google search so you can find some nice tutorials on how to use the program. We've all been there so dont' worry.. but if you get some help early on on how to use the program... it will make the scrapping piece that much easier.. Good Luck@
