Hi, I have potoshop 2.0 I am trying to draw a picture. But I do not know how to put some thing transparent in the background.The picture looks like this A dragon is looking at a rose and is thinking of he's grilfriend. I am going to put he's grilfriend at the top of the picture and she is transparent so that you can is the background of the picture. I have a picture kind of what I am talking about I hope it helps. :) This is not my picture I did not draw the pony.

Ugh...photoshop is a very good, if somewhat confusing, program. I have Photoshop 7 respectively, but Im pretty sure its layers. You have two options. One, you can draw the dragon and the girl separetely (forgive me if I mispell). You then scan them in and then combine the two so that their different layers. Or, you can take a slightly quicker, if harder approach. Draw the picture as normal, then use the cut tools to cut the girlfriend out and paste her as a different layer. Either way, you will probably have to use layers. There may be another way that I dont know about though. I myself use two different programs, Photoshop 7 and Photo Explosion Plus respectively. Good luck though! :D
