I just saw that. I use an older version of Paint Shop Pro and it's an excellent program. This is also a great deal.

On the tool options for the freehand selection, make sure antialias is checked and set feather to 1. You can zoom in and remove smaller sections. When you have an area selected, hit delete on the keyboard instead of in PSP, I think it makes it cleaner. Make sure you have the background promoted to layer. You don't have to crop out the whole b/g just enough so that you can isolate your image. Then you can use the eraser tool to get rid of the rest.

You are welcome Carol, Gotta make things easier ya know? "lol" After MANY years of using things in my kitchen or other parts of the house, I just came up with a more handier idea wondering WHY????? I haven't thought of it before? Little things like moving my paper towel holder to a certain spot or using "tin foil" pie tins to cover my burners instead of spending $$ on the burner covers that get scratched up in time. Mind you, I like to cover my burners to keep me from splashing on them while cooking on one and I lay my cover on it while I stop to stir. They really are clean so I am not trying to hide them. "LOL" ~Urlee~

I haven't checked this post in quite awhile. I got this computer sometime around 2002. I could have gotten XP then. I sure wish I had made him give me my copy of XP as I furnished my own 98. A little late now. I guess sooner or later I'll have to bite the bullet & get it. I just hope I don't lose everything when when it is done. I have a zillion PSP tube LOL & would hate to lose them. They are on drive D so maybe I won't. Most of my PSP filters are on drive D also. I need to backup my filters. I have a burner but haven't used it in a LONG LONG time & don't even remember how. I don't even have the program installed anymore. My son found out the hard way if your XP is pirated U can't put in some new programs. He bought his computer USED from a shop. It had XP but was an illegal one & he didn't know it. He now has a legal one in it. His was XP professional. The HOME one may be different. I just got NetScape 7.1 last nite. I only use it for mail but my old 4.7 quite working all of a sudden when NS did some changes. I wish I could get a CD for it like I did the 4.7 I had. I can't upgrade as higher doesn't support mail. Most of the time newer isn't better.. just harder to use. Dar
