hi guys
first, apologies if this has been posted before, or its such a simple thing that i look such a dumbass!

i enjoy doing (basic) skins using psp8.
sometimes it all goes easy, other times i am frustrated beyond belief!

my main problem is pasting something onto the skin/car, where i want just the actual image, say i have a red cross on a white background, i cut, paste as a transparent object and hey presto, i have just the red cross to paste onto the car.............but i cant always get that to happen, and sometimes i have the background as well. i hope im making sense here.........can anyone explain what i need to do?

many thanks
