http://software.news...?tid=75&tid=131

I always get to the step where i have cut the green out but the image that is left is on a whit background and i can't get "the marching ant line" aroundd the image i have left so i can cut it out and paste it unto a transparent layer so i can put it untop of another image!

can anyone help me with this or give me a better way as soon as you can
thanks a lot

if nobody on this forum can help me, could you point me to another forum?

AFTER selecting regions by color...and removing all the green...you can use the contiguous area selector to select all that white...then invert the selection and drag the central (non green) image over to your transparent background...or wherever
