Hey,

I am hoping somebody here will be able to help me with something I'm just trying to do, seeing as I'm not exactly skilled with all the graphics work. I'm making something in PSP, and I have an image that I want to put onto it. The image is transparent around the edges when I open it, but it opens in photoeditor, and I want it in PSP. If I copy the image across, or try to open it in PSP, it appears in a black box rather than transparent, which is obviously no good when I am trying to put it into something.

Can anybody help me out?? Cheers.

PS. If anybody can, instructions for dummies would be good, thanks lol.

Your making a .gif? Regardless, you probably want to take something like a magic lasso tool and cut the image out and then place it on top of the other image. If I remember correctly, when you turn a bmp or jpg into a gif in PSP it will have that black background and only show as transparent when published to the web. To be transparent all of the time it has to be created as a transparent gif from the start.

I’m not that familiar with PSP, but have you tried dragging your image onto another image. If it has a transparent background in other imaging software it is possible you just have a display issue and will not take the background onto the other layer.

When you open it in PSP use the magic wand tool and select all the black...use the shift key to make additional selections...then click Selections then click invert...then click edit copy

now make a new file the size of the selection and paste as a new transparent selection...select edit >copy then edit>paste into your main image
