Been trying to follow this tutorial. OK I realise that it's quite old & I'm using Elements 5, but I can get so far. When I get to the bit where you want the b/g to reflect in the car, you've got the car sandwiched between 2 b/g layers. He then says switch off the bottom layer, but if you do this, you can't see the car as it's below the top layer. He then says hold down Alt & run the cursor over the line between the car & b/g & 2 little circles will appear. Left click & the b/g wraps round the car. Well, nothing happens when I do it. Any ideas?

OK Lou, I sussed it. Thick old git that I am I didn't realise that when you held down Alt & clicked on the line between the layers, you did it in the layers palette. There was me trying to do it on the actual image!! The answer was staring me in the face all the time. Anyway, thanks for your help. I think you're a hero & I don't care what the others say! ![]()
