Yes, that's OK - the bird is now surrounded by a chequered background. Now, how can I "transplant" the little blighter onto my photo? When I click 'Save', it seems to resume back to the original.

Hello, I'm a complete novice, and I'm trying to understand how to crop an image using the lasso, but everyone seems to keep refering to layers. Is there a tutorial explaining how to use layers and when to use them? Basically, I need to plonk a robin, currently in a small square picture with a white backgound, onto a photo of me and my wife for a Xmas card. I need to get rid of the white background around the robin and only use the bird itself - if you get my drift. Thanks
