Question
I have PS Element & want to import any picture and take out backgrounds and make the background transparent so I could make it as a logo to place on the internet. How do I do this? Is there any easy steps involved?

Any advise would be great!

Answer
This generally involves using a selection tool like the Magic Wand to remove the background. Unless your background is very uniform (like one solid color), it's going to require some work.

Let me know if you have any other questions or comments.

Are you out of work and looking for a new job (or know someone who is), but find that everyone who is hiring is looking for someone with computer skills? You're not alone. It's hard to find a job without knowing how to use a computer.

In today's offices, you need to understand how to use Microsoft Windows, write a document in Microsoft Word, or even work with spreadsheets in Microsoft Excel. Unfortunately, classroom-based computer training can be expensive - sometimes hundreds of dollars a day. If you're out of work, it's hard to afford!

I want to do my part to help people in this tough economy. I have put together a special training CD that includes over six hours of video tutorials that I'm giving away absolutely FREE to anyone who's currently out of work and looking for a job. If this describes you, click here:
