How do you clip is PSE 6.0?

Hi Ladies!
I am so thankful for this website & the friendly ladies!
I have a friend who bought PSE 6.0 and is having trouble clipping. The usual control+G is not working. I also know (in PSE 5.0) one can go to the layers pallette, put the cursor between the template layer & the photo to be clipped, hit alt+ left click to get the photo to clip, but this is not working in PSE 6.0 either. Any info you have would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

I have PSE 6 and could not get control+G to work either. Would love to see the comments on this. I go to Layer/group with previous to get it to clip.

Does Ctrl+Alt+G work?

[Cassie Jones (1gr8muggle)]

I really think this should be working for you. May be a glitch somewhere.

When you go to Layer > Group with Previous, there should be a series of keystrokes next to that option to indicate the keyboard shortcut. Is that there? It should be Control-G

Thanks for all of the replies so far! It sounds like PSE 6.0 has a few issues that the rest of us don't have. I googled "scrapbooking in PSE 6.0" and came across some other problems that scrappers are running into - like dragging a png file onto paper. Apparently the grey box goes up to the paper too. PSE 6.0 users have to make the png file active on the workspace and drag the png file down to the photo bin & into the desired paper. Weird.

I am going to check with my friend and see what the keystroke text says (thanks, Cassie!) and also have her try alt+ctrl+g (thanks Katrina!). Hopefully we can get some answers for my friend and for Terry too!

Thanks again!
Joey

The alt key is for Macs.

Just hoping that perhaps our PC's are finally evolving

I have PSE6 and don't have any trouble with Ctrl+G or dragging paper around. I'm sorry I don't really know how to help solve the problems you're having either....

I just opened up PSE6 and Ctrl-G works for me....I think there is something more happening with your friend...perhaps you could have her describe the process she is following in detail and we might be able to help her further?

You guys are great! I am glad to know that control+g works in PSE 6.0. I hope to work/talk with her soon & see her process. I might have her reset her PSE 6.0 too.
Thanks a ton for all the comments! Your support is priceless! I'll keep you posted!
Thanks!

I have PSE 6 and I use Atl and go between the layers at the same time and lift click and it works ever time.

Have her make sure she has the right layer selected.
Her Layers Palette should look something like:

photo
clipping mask
background

She'll need to select the photo layer and then press Ctrl + G (Mac: Cmd G). If the photo layer isn't selected, it won't work. Also, make sure she is holding the Ctrl key at the same time as the G key - she might accidentally be hitting Ctrl (letting go) then G (letting go.) Hope this helps.
