Photoshop Elements 19

[cherylem11162324]

I previously used Photoshop elements 8.  In that program I could use a premade template and add a photo to the photo space provided, click on control +G and the picture would be saved in the shape of the photo spaceprovided on the template.   In Photoshop Elements 19 I don't seem to be able to do the same thing  in the photo editor program.  How do I do this in the 19 program?

Either select the photos you want to use in the Organizer, or open them in the Editor and select them.  Then click on Photo Collage in the Create menu of the Organizer or Editor.

Photos must be selected before creating a photo collage.  However, they can be replaced, removed or added once the Collage Editor is open.

I am trying to use a tiff document to make scrapbook pages.  That is where I am having problems inserting photos.

I have a further questions on creating photo montages using Elements 19:

Is it possible to define a collage with different aspect ratio to the default - if so how can I do this?

You say that photos can be rearranged after the collage is created, however, I can't find a way of getting the layout as the program seems to place the photos in different locations to those selected when I recreate the collage - I'm probably doing something wrong?

Finally, how can I change the background to the collage - do I simply have to select the replace the background layer?

Thanks in advance

In photoshop elements 8 Ctrl+G is for Layer>Create Clipping Mask.

Adobe changed the shortcut in photoshop elements 19 to Ctrl+Alt+G

Ctrl+G is now creating a Layer Group (folder)

This is the answer I was looking for.  Thank you.

Is there a list of all the shortcuts for Photoshop 19 someplace?
