Replacing background in Photoshop 18 won't allow me to choose a background pic

Hello,

I presume this query is related to the Replace Background Guided Edit (please correct me if I'm wrong).

To use this Guided Edit, the first step is to make a selection. It's only after you've made a selection that step 2 gets enabled.

In case you're facing some other issue, please share the steps you're following.

Thanks,

Medha

In Editor, go to the expert tab.

1. Open picture B, the one you wish to select something from 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.
6. In the layers palette you should see picture A as the background layer, and object B on a separate layer.

Moving to the Photoshop Elements forum

This seems to be a Photoshop Elements inquiry.

I suggest that you post it at: Photoshop Elements
