Help with photoshop

[docquesting]

Hi, I am seriously real newbie with p/s . I had help in figuring out how to seperate and image using i forget which tool to select it then it dleted the other one and kept one I seclected using the crop option. Now when I try to make the bg transparent it deletes the layer with item I want and doesnt change the bg. I think I used the new layer from bg option and then did it that way. The layer is locked so I forget how I got around it becuase I cant unluck it. Can somebody hopefully make since of this and tell me step by step what to do and rember I dont know what all tools are andwhat they are called and where or what to click on.

I need to take an image and make background transparent. I forget how I did the first one as I am a newbie lol. I used Marque tool to select image an hit Del but it just makes the background transparent and the image dissapears. Like I said the layer on origonal image is locked and there is know way for me to change it.

Oh you wanna have him try and explain how to get layer visibility switched on to you, damn, it's like he's speaking Russian.

I just ran that through my translator and it burped it straight back.

Original

Open the image in PS... click Filter... Extract (or Alt+Ctrl+X)...

Step1

highlight the surrounding areas of the image with your cursor...

Step2

then on the left, click the paintbrush image and select the image you want to keep

Step3

press OK... now your image as an invisible background :-D

Final

edges look sloppy b/c i was in a hurry

[Fusion]

Need a spelling and grammar checker, I can't make head nor tail of that.

Looks like Fusion has the better English:

For this damn, just select it with the wand tool, when its selected, bash delete.

When I did it before I think i used make new layer from bg or something and I forget what else it wasnt as hard as that. When I open the image that way it opens the bg and not the image.

[Pipeline-Webdesign]

you think that's hard? hmm... good luck then! lol...
