Hi all,

It has been forever since I made a page and I have a dumb question. I'm trying to make a brag book for my twin's 2nd b'day this week and the pages are .png files so all I have to do is put the photo under the page and journal.

Okay, I can't remember how to do this. I use Photoshop Elements 4.

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Sheri

Place the photo in the layer above the .png that you want to cover.
Hit ctrl+G
Make sure you like the placement
then when it's perfect, hit ctrl+E to merge.

HTH!!

Here's how I would do it: Place the photo layer *below* the png file. You can use the move tool to resize, if necessary. If you want, you can then merge the layers together, but make sure you use "save as" rather than "save" so you can re-use that png file! (Oh yeah, you can journal on top as well...)

??Really? How do you make the photo show through the png file? *Intrigued*

AAAHHH..I went back and read the question, I think your right Darlene - I was thinking of templates, but I think you talking about EZ pages?

Sorry!! *blush*
