This has happened to me several times in Elements. The latest was today.
I opened a .JPG file. Used the magnetic lasso to cut out a candlestick holder. Chose Copy. Then chose New:from clipboard.
It had a transparent background, of course. I renamed the layer. Made a duplicate layer. Checked RGB color was on. But could NOT ERASE the pixels that I didn’t want.
So, I saved it as a .PSD file. Brought it back in. Same routine with the layers, but still could not erase a single pixel.
Reset machine, thinking memory might be low. Same problem.
The layers were not locked. Normal mode.
Someone knows what’s wrong, and I’ll be happy to learn the answer as this has happened to me several times.
Thanks in advance,
Lorace
