Hi, so what are the rules for making a render, what exactly is a render, and please don't call me a n00b because I know I am one. Thanks
rules: just cut it. render: it's a part of image which you cuted from whole big image! n00b: and if you are one, then act like one and read rules and sticky topics damnit.
all of the above, and for the love of god PLEASE SAVE IT IN A PNG. FORMAT. If you don't save it in png. you have to do it all over again. Any way, good luck to you after you figure it out.
Well if you save as a .psd then it isn't lost either...but yeah, all hosted renders should be in .png format. Take a look round tuts section, Huy-N's is one of the best but there will be others out there, have a look at them. You'll want to start off with the Polygonal lasso most likely, but the pen tool is also VERY useful, get fully clued up on both
