The Magic Wand feature is available in the Pro version. If you don't have this feature, I'll come up with a workaround for you.

Status: offline 		Is your older computer with your older Print Shop, gone forever? If it is still accessible, your project images can be grouped and exported as a single JPG.

Otherwise, you will need a photo-editing program (some very good free downloads available) that can make background selections transparent and export as PNG with transparency. Then you import this PNG into your project.

The simplest solution is to replace the graphic with a suitable one from the 3.5 clipart gallery.

If you are under a time constraint, you can send me your original OLD Print Shop project file which I can open on my XP computer. I can rework the graphics so that you will have a PS 3.5 project file that looks like your original.

Click the email icon under my avatar and send me a message if you are interested.

Status: offline 		I'm under no time restraint. I do still have my old computer. I will try exporting it the way you described. I have several photo editor programs like Photo Elements 10. I looked at that one, but didn't really see any way to accomplish it. I'll look again. I didn't thing the PrintShop 3.5 program would had a good variety of martial arts figures, and I have used this template and the other ones I have for males and kids for years, so I would like to keep it the same.

I do thank you for all of your help. I'll post to you directly if I get it working. Thanks again.

That's a relief you still have the old computer. I still use mine to operate my older printer.

Adobe Photo Shop Elements would accomplish the job perfectly. It's what I use.

I was curious to see what 3.5 offers with respect to the type of project you are doing.

This example is one of the Certificate projects. I changed nothing, just added one clipart from the program. I used Adobe Photo Shop Elements to add your logo to demonstrate the transparency it can achieve.
