I don't think your blending it but replacing it. You sound like you have more skill then me, but have you tried to select the red ball in a new layer? Once you can select it, then your home free.

Its a specialized group about Elements and a couple of others, but Elements is the predominant program. Its called Elements Village, there all very helpful and all over the place with the knowledge and interests. Pretty cool really, go here:
