Hello, I am not very experienced in advanced actions in Photoshop Elements 2018.  I am an artist and want to copy and paste a photo of a painting into a living room scene - I have a living room scene with one painting; and I want to copy and paste a new photo of a painting and resize and place into the spot where the current painting is located in the living room scene.  Can someone explain the steps to do this?   Thank you!

    In Editor, go to the expert tab.

    1. Open picture B, the one you wish to select something from (new photo) to add to another picture.
    2. Use one of the selection tools, e.g. selection brush, lasso tool, to select the object. You will see an outline ("marching ants") once the selection is complete
    3. Go to Edit menu>copy to copy the selection to the clipboard
    4. Open picture A, then go to Edit>paste
    5. Use the move tool to position object from picture B over the old painting, and resize with the corner handles of the bounding box.
    6. In the layers palette you should see picture A as the background layer, and object B on a separate layer.
