Hi, You should try "quick masking". I'll try to explain. As another told you, place the picture which you want to remove something from, on top af the bagground image. Activate the "lasso" and draw a line arround the thing you want to keep. In the buttom of the toolboa, there is the bagground anf foreground coulor tab. When you have surrounded with the lasso tool, press the small buttom which is right under the bagground coulor tab. This makes everything outside the Lasso line red. Now activate a bruch in a size that let you paint everything which is between the red and outside the lassoline. When ready, press the tab beside the Quikmask (under the foreground colour tab. The red dissapears and there are a active line arround the object you want to keep. Now press ctrl. x - and everything outside the linearea dissapears. It sound a litle complicated - but is more than easy. Regards Butlerman
