Looking for help on how to extract text ( EXACT fonts) & graphics from a wedding invitation so that it can be printed onto metal. Below shows what I am trying to accomplish. Thanks in advance for any help that is offered   |

Hi jkme3, welcome to PSE&M! At first glance, I'm inclined to suggest using the Quick Selection tool or the Magic Wand tool, or a combination of these two tools. You could try extracting the text/graphics. Or you could try deleting the black background. BTW, which version of Elements do you use? Are you on a PC or on a Mac? |

jkme3, I thought of another possibility. However, I'm not sure how effective it will be in this kind of project. You could try doing a color inversion. It will give you a black text/graphics on a white background. 1. Duplicate the background layer. 2. Ctrl-I (Cmmd-I on a Mac) to invert the colors.

I am no expert but I think it will be very hard to get a print of the quality that would be needed to send to the printer from an extraction. I think I may have found the font that was used but it is costly to purchase.  |

This might be off base. Have you checked with the company that will make the metal plaque to see what file format they want? They might work with vector files. I know nothing about this stuff, other than a sign maker who did some work for me years ago had to create vector images from my jpg or psd files.
