I need to know how to figure things out around on this! LOL! So, from the things listed, if anybody could help me on ANYTHING, please do!

-The background eraser, not as good as PSP, and it takes away half of the ear on a dog when I do it. Tips on how to work it?

-Adding a photo to a siggy? It won't let me copy and paste the picture. So how else do I do it?

-Making a picture transparent. I can't figure it out.

-Adding effects and such, like what Devon does to her siggys.

-Avatars and blinkies.....how exactly do I do these?

-Anything else that you think will help!

Thanks everybody!
