My mom banned me from using her computer. Elements is in it, so, I am stuck with the standard version! I tried doing the cropping in a picture of Minister of Spring, good thing too, now, I have a brand new picture for the distorted disney picture game.

I hope the Lasso tool can work out for you Jillian
I am the only one in my family incredibly obsessed with graphics, so I am the only one who has any version of Photoshop, or, in fact, any knowledge of it |

Heya, Iris!
While taking the lasso tool and making a selection-there are three choices: 1. New selection. 2.Add to selection. 3.Subtract from selection. 4.Intersevt selection. Then there is a box to check or uncheck saying- Anti-Aliased. What should I do? |

Hey Jillian!
When you click on the lasso tool, the default should be New Selection, which is what I click. Check Anti-Aliased, because an anti-aliased image will have better resolution with lesser chances of jagged lines if you stretch the image than a non anti-aliased image. |

Can you help me and tell me how to put the background and the glow?
So far, I progressed to this level. Last edited by Jillian Snowdew; 11-12-2011 at 02:30 PM. |

That's how I did it Jillian, except that I see your fairy is transparent. In the layers panel, there is a space you can adjust Layer Opacity. If you switch it to 100%, the fairy will be opaque.
For the background, find one you like and copy it. You can copy it in 2 ways: Right-clicking on the background and choosing "Copy" and going back to the Photoshop window and going to Edit --> Paste. Or you can open it in Photoshop, press Ctrl+A, then pressing Ctrl+C, and then going back to your signature and pressing Ctrl+V. For glow, look to the bottom right of your screen. There will be an "fx" sign. Double click on the "fx" symbol and an effects chart will come up. You can adjust glow, bevel, shadow, and more in the "fx" chart. (if that doesn't work, I'm sorry. Somebody once told me that was where you got the "fx" symbol on Standard CS5, but I have no idea if that is how you do it since I have Elements 9) |

Are you sure it is completely free?

Yes. PDF Creator is free, as well as PDF Lite. I will double check again to make sure ~ thanks for asking again, but I wouldn't post something without making sure it was true

Kass, I downloaded a free PDF creator program a while back. It acts just like a "printer" meaning that when you go to your fairy page to print your fairy and it gives you the option to select which printer you'd like to use, you just select the PDF creator program instead and--voila! It's makes a PDF for you! Just do what Iris suggested and search for a free one.

Okay I found it but, I might download it later, because I don't know how my mom would react to it... I found it, I will try the 2 week trial first.

Iris, must I adjust the glow before or after putting the background? Cause the glow keeps coming around the entire background!

Jillian, you can do it either way, but always know which layer you are working on. If you added the glow while working on the background layer, the glow would go on the background layer. If you added the glow while working on the fairy layer, the glow would go on the fairy layer.
Click on a layer to work on it. |
