Hmmm can you now possible remove that colored background so only the heart shaped photo can be used to say be placed in a word document or something else?

@Rarri56 - why don't u merge the layers, so its all one image (or even save as a jpg). Get the selection tool click on the outside of the heart and delete.

tried the same steps in photoshop elements but when i drag-drop the heart to picture layer, I get a solid heart covering the picture.
