Hello. I made a nice frame in photoshop with the help of a nice member. The photo is of myself and my partner and I have our heads inside the frame, the thing is there is a lot of dark area outside the frame, There is also some nice flowers on the frame which go outside slightly of the frame which I want to keep. How do I just keep the frame and us inside without the dark area outside of it. Thanks

If we could see the image then we could offer up better ideas. It is hard to say what to do without seeing the image. Can you share it?

I have already sent the image. Please see the previous screenshots. You can clearly see the darker areas outside the picture frame, which I want to remove

First off: That is obviously not the screenshot I asked for all those posts ago.

Secondly: Have you tried using a Layer Mask yet?

Could you please post screenshots with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Options Bar, …) visible?

Hello. Seems I have to go back to the beginning. I'm sending a screenshot of the frame I want to use. As You can see I started to move it off the background. I want to move it onto a nice photo of myself and wife which I can do. After I do that there is a lot of dark area outside the frame. How do I remove this dark area, I want to keep the petals outside the bottom of the frame as well and be left with only the picture frame with us inside. Thanks
