Right, thanks.

So... thinking about the "building with the strange roof" image now, can I do a magic thingie selection and get the building and its roof selected - paint this mask thing in the area that isn't the building, and then use the mask part to turn the sky, ground, trees etc transparent - leaving me with a weird building shaped image?

Or can I not use the selection thing to pick out the building - but have to paint delicately around it by hand so as to use the mask function?

Only using a selection tool I can paint out the background with a massive brush in seconds - being accurate by hand will take some hours of work.
