Thanks for this! I just tried it out and it was so easy! Great instructions.
I was trying this Elements 4.0, and I cannot get the rectangular marquee to rotate without dragging the selection with it, thus distorting the picture. In other words, I can't figure out how to make my box at an angle.
Any suggestions?
