I have a photograph of my mom standing in front of a hideous background. I want to cut her out and put her in a garden. So far I know how to make another layer. Please direct me to a simple tut. I have been searching but can't seem to find what I need. TIA

Hi. I am looking for directions on how to make a polka dot pattern. A simple tut, as I am new and still struggling with the basics. TIA
