Photoshop Video Tutorial - Copy, Paste & Move

One of the most common questions I get asked is 'how can I combine two images into one'. Well the answer lies inside this video, where we'll examine two typical ways to do so. Firstly we'll combine images using the copy and paste commands, and then I'll demonstrate how it's done with the Move Tool. Generally speaking of course, this is the sort of video that answers a lot of questions.

Quick Selection Tool

The Quick Selection Tool creates a freeform selection outline around objects with similar colours and shades. In this example I'll use it to select Elvis Presley's Pink Cadillac leaving us with the option of changing pink to blue, or any other colour you fancy. The wonderful thing about this tool is its ease of use, the slightly annoying thing is its not always as quick as you'd imagine - especially if you're looking for quality results. Nonetheless its a great tool to have on your side, and will definitely come to your aid if you use the selection tools regularly.

In this video I'll introduce my 'Beginner's Guide to Photoshop Elements 9' series available on this site. I'll use the time to set out the course, discuss what I'll teach and help you understand the overall objective and aim of the series. This is the 1st and shortest video out of the 86 available.

It’s a lot of work so it wasn’t a decision I could take lightly, as not only would I need to update parts of the course that had changed through the versions, but also add additional content on other essential commands and new features that came along with version 9.
