i want to be able to eliminate the the original background and add a new one or just add a couple extra pictures to it.

In PSP7 you can use the Freehand selection tool set to Point-to-Point, feather =0 & antilias checked, and select the part of the image that you want to keep. Invert the selection and hit delete to remove the background (be sure to work on a raster layer instead of the background layer otherwise when you hit delete the background will be replaced by a color; to promote the background layer to raster simply find this option on the Layer menu).
Not a very easy process if you aren't used to that tool yet, but unfortunately PSP7 doesn't offer great support for this kind of wok.

OR

Create a vector object surrounding the image you want to keep and create a selection for it (Selections - From Object). Not so different from the Freehand process but this way you can always edit the shape so that your selection looks better.

Hope this helped

oh yes that helped a ton....thanks a lot

I came up with a technique that seems to work quite well. I take the lasso tool, cut out the image I want to work with, then make the cut out a new layer over the background I am working with. Then I take the eraser brush, set the size to between 15 and 30, depending on the amount I have to erase, then I erase the excess material up to the outline of the object I am keeping. Remember that the smaller your eraser brush is, the closer and finer you can get to the object without comprimising it's outline. Once I have done that, I set the transparency of the layer I am working with if I want a transparency effect, then blend the layers when I am ready for the final product.

Hope that helps you some.
