    How do you select a certain part of an image? For example, you have a pic of Charles Barkley. However, you just want his body (i.e. nothing surrounding his body) to edit and subsequently post on your page.
    I haven't been able to figure out how to do that. What kind of programs do you use?

    I know Dave knows how to do so...how do you do that, man?

    programs used to edit images...

    Corel PhotoPaint
    Adobe PhotoShop
    Microsoft Draw
    Fireworks
    and many others...

    Almost any decent graphics program can create the effect you are looking for. You can even find older used versions of the aforementioned programs and still achieve that effect and more. Practice and patience is what it takes... for some folks it like art...

    happy editing,

    use the lasso tool there are 3 different ones... the lasso, the line lasso and the wand... try those out... then if you can find an erase tool, try that and zoom and change your eraser size and work closely...
    good luck

    the erase tool seems to work best..

    you can change the transparency of the edge and size... it should achieve the effect you are looking for... good luck once again.

    one other quick thing: the banner at the top should link back to the main page

    Very nice job on the site. It really is laid out well and looks great. Can't wait 'til you get a server so you don't have to deal with that constant advertising at the top.

    Way to go!
