I had PSE 7, and if I cut around e.g. a figure, I could easily add a background by selecting the "use as Background" option.

In PSE 9, this option has disappeared – is there a similar method I could use please? Your help appreciated.

Thanks

Phil

Worst case, add the new background as a layer under the foreground elements.

Thanks Jeffrey. If this is the ‘worst case’ does anyone have a ‘best case’ solution please?

TIA
