I use Paint Shop Elements (version 13) to remove background from images to then use in PowerPoint. So I ensure the image is on a proper layer (say Layer 0). I then create a mask. If there are large areas of unwanted background I use the Magic Wand to highlight them. I then use the Fill Tool with the 'black'/remove pixels leave transparent on these areas. HOWEVER if I then try to use the Brush Tool with the remove/transparent 'black' setting to say tidy up the image, the brush tool will not respond! I then find I have to save the Photoshop file and re-open it before I can use the brush tool. I suspect I am missing a step, but I am fairly new to Photoshop Elements.
