Kay created some collages using family photos by tracing around the subjects with the freehand selection tool. Then she copied and pasted the photo on a blank white image.

Kay practiced make a Picture Tube out of Christmas clipart. She opened an image and then created a new transparent image the exact same size. Then she chose the Magic Wand tool and clicked in the background of the picture. This places the Marching Ants around the objects in the picture AND the outer rim of the image. She then chose Selections>Invert so that the Marching Ants only surround the objects in the picture. She copied the objects and then clicked the title bar of the transparent image and clicked Edit>Paste As New Selection. She positioned the objects so no part of them is cut off and clicked once with the mouse. After clicking Selections>Select None, she exported the image as a Picture Tube. The only thing she had to do in the Export Picture Tube dialog box was to give the tube a name. Then the tube was ready to use.
Kay combined two images into one by taking a photo of her and Don and pasting it as a new layer on a sunset image.

She merged the layers and saved as a jpg file.
