BTW.. couple things I noticed playing w/ PhotoShop Elements... try making a duplicate layer, then turn off visibility for the actual background (original) image.. that way you can get the transparency for whatever bakground you'd like to use. If you have a relatively uncomplicated background to remove that is VERY different from what you wanna keep, that magic eraser can be a big help. Sometimes it helps to use the blur brush to blend in a bit, but that only works if your new background is a bright color or not very much darker than your image, otherwise you might get kind of a haze around the image.
