Ron,
1. Open image, drag down layers palette, click on triangle upper right, click duplicate background layer, shut off visibility to background layer
2. Using a selection tool (e.g. lasso or magnetic lasso) select that which you wish to move
3. Go to Edit>copy. Minimize this file
4. Open your "other scene", as in step #1 above
5. Go to Edit>paste
6. With the move tool you can position your selection. It is best to have both images at the same resolution before embarking on this.
There are other ways to do this, but this method is quite conventional. Feel free to repost if additional info. is required.

Thank You Ken
That information was just what I was looking for.
I’m New to PSE 2.0 I downloaded the trial version to check it out, I ‘m going to Sams Club to get the registered version in a little while, they have it for $52.99.
Thanks again Ken
Ronnie,
You will really like Elements … its a great package.
Anytime you get stuck just ask questions … there is always someone here who will answer.
Wendy
Ken, is there a reason for your step 1 (duplicate background layer)? This is not really necessary.
Mark – so that if you foul it up on the first go it’ s easy to return to the untouched background and start again. I often do it as a first step for any image manipulation for this reason.
Susan S
Me too Susan … and whenever I forget to do it I always seem to make a mess of the manipulation 🙂
Wendy
Mark,
Susan and Wendy have provided you with the rationale. I am a compulsive pedagogue and always apply this initial step to my work flow. I think that you will like this program which, if used with diligence, is really a lot of fun. Feel free to ask questions.
Ken
Gee, Ken, I hope that condition.."compulsive pedagogue" isn’t contagious!
