What I wanted to mess around and try is takeing my car and moveing it onto differant backgrounds and such, but I seem lost on the whole layering subject. I tried lookign up some how to guides on youtube but the video quality was so low I couldn't see what they were clicking on and such

It looks really good, esp for your first time... I learned to Photoshop with my Vibe too.

i am currently working on making my own GDM theme and i am trying to create buttons to fit the theme. i haven't played with any image manipulation programs in a long time except to change the file extensions. i need the button's image to be a .png file. i have the image i want, it's an icon on my desktop that was taken from a screenshot because the program doesn't have it's icon easily accessible or locatable. the image is the playonline icon. when i put the png into my theme there is the part i want, with extra white space around it. i am trying to have clear space around the part of the image i do want so the background image shows through, but i cannot figure it out. thanks for the help.

Sounds like you want the background 'color' of your button image to be 'transparent'. I don't use Photoshop, so I can't give you specifics on how to do it. Hope this helps.

use your crop tool in photoshop on the image to eliminate the background completely.
