Question
I have photoshop element 6. I want to take the pictures I have and put in another background. They are group photos and I do not like the background. I have several I am wanting to do this with. I cannot find my books so I am a little lost.
The easiest way to do this is to use the selection tools (like the Magic Wand) to remove the background - cut them out. Then you can create a new layer with whatever background you want. There are a million tutorials online that explain how to do this, including my own:

Take care.

Education/Credentials
I am completely self-taught with Photoshop - which I believe is the best way to learn. A good book, tutorials, and experts (such as those here at AllExperts) to ask question of is the best way to understand a subject. I have been an Expert here at AllExperts in several other catgeories (MS Word, Excel, Windows, etc.) for a long time.
