    I'm pretty new to photoshop and arent as bad as this next question sugests but here goes anyways.
    How do you get a precut render selected and then copied in to whatever you want it to? I have tried using the magic tool but it just seletcs the hole thing. Lol i realise this is probably the most elementry question you have seen but i dnt know how else you would do it unless you cut it out through using quick mask wich would kind of get rid of the point of having someone cut it out in the first place!
    Help would Be Greatly!! Appreciated Thanks!

    So there is no BG?

    CTRL+Click on the layer, should select it,

    If there is no BG, you can select the whole canvas, because the render is the only thing on it :)

    im confused as to what your asking, but make sure to only use renders with a transparent backround. Then just open it, resize if you need to, and just put it on your sig.

    you'll know it has a transparent backround if when you open it, it has little white and gray boxes as the backround.

    You can't copy it and then paste it otherwise it doesn't recgonize the transparency in photoshop so you have to save it, open it in photoshop then click CTRL + A then edit -> cut and paste it onto your sig background or whatever. Or if you feel you have to copy and paste it then you can just take the magic wand tool and it should automaticly select just the render ;)

    Ye do that

    Save the render into your Computer dont copy and paste directly from site or else it wont work - make sure its a PNG format

    Open the render in PS
    Hit CTRL + A - to select the render
    Then CTRL + C - to copy the render

    Switch to the window you want the render to go to then hit CTRL V that should paste it in the window

    I hope it helps ;)
