Hi, Dean. Welcome! Yes, you can do this very well with PE. The answer to "is it a relatively easy process?" isn't that simple. For an experienced PE user, yes, it's pretty easy.

However, it's only fair to tell you that there is a bit of learning curve to PE at the beginning, if you haven't previously used photoshop or another program that involves layers.

This program is very difficult to use.
I've had it for three months.

Dean,
I suggest that you purchase a book to help you master Photoshop Elements. Your project is a good stimulus, in my opinion. I suggest a book that many have found very good: Photoshop Elements Solutions by Mikkel Aaland. When I started with this program, I went through the book chapter by chapter and found that it is very user friendly. Also the people on this forum are most helpful.
