OK, great, I got it to work now. Man, 7.0 is a lot more complicated then Elements, it has more features, but Elements was a lot more user friendly i have to say. Thanks a lot for the help guys, specifically DJ biggrin:
Sorry for the late reply guys. I was at the SU vs. Georgetown game. (SU kicked their asses.) For transparency, just use the slider in the layer sidebar or in layer style > blending options and use the slider there.
That sig that you said was too busy was only 2 layers on the right side, with the uniform and the swastika. That's usually as far as I go with conflicting images like that.
Nevermind, I think I can just get used to doing it in Paint Shop Pro. In Paint Shop, the magic wand can't do the "Select Inverse" thing in Magnum's tutorial, is there another way to select only part of an image besides manually going around the edges with the free hand lasso? Or is there a similar way to just get rid of all the crap you don't want like in Magnum's tutorial?
