<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2634526, member: 19463&quot;]Use the largest image, not a reduced size.&nbsp; There are several selection tools selectable on the left edge menu second block down.&nbsp; It shows four major categories including one that looks like a lasso. Right clicking on it gives three choices from plain lasso, polygonal lasso to magnetic lasso.&nbsp; Another of the majors allows brush or pen.&nbsp; Another is magic wand which is best if you have done what I always advised and shot a plain and detailess background.&nbsp; Which you should use depends on what you want to eliminate.&nbsp; Set the background color (left side bottom) to black or whatever you want as a background.&nbsp; Select parts of the background as best you can not to include any coin parts hitting Delete when you have selected something or everything.&nbsp; Again, this process will be one click if you shot correctly but &#039;hours&#039; if you were too lazy to shoot an easy to remove background.&nbsp; When everything has been removed that needs to go, combine the obverse and reverse by cut and pasting one into the other image (having resized the canvas to accept it).&nbsp; Crop to tastes and you are done. Make a smaller image for use online but save it under a different name so you still have the big file in case you need to touch it up later. </p><p><a href="http://www.pbase.com/dougsmit/coincombo" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pbase.com/dougsmit/coincombo" rel="nofollow">http://www.pbase.com/dougsmit/coincombo</a></p><p>The last of these steps were covered in a slideshow I made long ago but I have no page on selection processes.&nbsp; Every version of Elements changed something in the layout.&nbsp; 15 is current, I use 13 which allows use with Windows 10.&nbsp; I used 10 for years and before that 6 which replaced 2 at my house.&nbsp; I have never seen 15 but 13 was an upgrade over 10 on selection tools.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
