uploadI tried this using Photoshop Elements 2 (TWO). 1. Created a 8x6 background (size – just because it looked good) 2. Duplicated the background layer 3. Duplicated the background layer again 4. Using EDIT>FILL filled the blue layer 5. Using the PAINT BUCKET filled the yellow layer 6. Working with the BLUE layer and using the POLYGONAL LASSO TOOL I outlined/selected my triangle 7. EDIT>CUT I left the yellow layer complete. Now when changing colors I don’t have to worry about that thin white line when working with two triangles. |

I forgot to mention to save this in .psd format. Then when you have occasion to change colors for a different flag you don't have to start over. Just change the colors, flatten and save with a different file name.

That was quick and easy. Only one suggestion - the background layer could've been colored and you would've had only two layers.

You're correct. I just use a white background out of habit.
