Oh and next time, if you want to remove the gray areas, it's easier and works better if you select the area with the magic wand and then delete the area.


I've never used the magic wand. Something new [for me] to try. But why do it that way when all you have to do is to turn off the eye? Maybe I'm not understanding your suggestion?

Anyway, here's two things that I made with the template. I need to work on the backgrounds. I don't think I like either one.

Oh how pretty Russ.

The magic wand suggestions was for the one you did the other day where you said you used the eraser to get rid of the gray circles to put your images there.

Now I understand - Thanks for the tip.

I have never used that tool, but I will try to learn.

Thanks to everyone for the help.

Your wife's flowers are lovely, you've made a very nice page using them. I have an idea for your background, if you'd like to try. Take your 2nd background, the one that is a picture of sweet peas I believe. Do a pretty heavy Gaussian blur on it so you have all the nice garden colors, but none of the detail. Then desaturate it a bit, maybe only 75% or 50%, but not all the way. That might work, then again, it might not!

Russ, I like it too. Very nice!

Judy, your page is pretty. I like how your flowers spread around, not just in the circles.
