if you are interested in switching to a Photoshop or Photoshop Elements program, check if you already have it. A lot of digital cameras come with Photoshop Elements (also called PSE) and even if it's not the newest version, it will get you by. A lot of scrappers use Photoshop Elements and it's a great program. Photoshop is the more 'professional' version of Photoshop Elements, and it's a lot more expensive. It's more program than a lot of people need, but you'll have to decide that for yourself. PSE 9 is about $80 on amazon.com. Be sure your computer can run the program before buying- that is super important!
As for how to solve the .png issue within PSP 5, I thought I could help because I have that program, but I can't get it to install on my computer. Looking at the box, PSP 5 is for Windows 95/98 and my PC won't install it. Hopefully someone else will come along and have experience in this. Sorry I can't help more!

Thank you, ladies!
 I had a feeling that my problems stem from trying to do digital work on a typewriter. One of these days I'll even quit washing my clothes by pounding them with a rock down by the river! Quote:
 Thank you for the suggestions. I'm going to look into PhotoShop Elements. Maybe it will last me the next couple of decades.

And Lynnette had a great suggestion of downloading the trial version of PSE. Here is the link to that if you wanted it- and it's direct from Adobe - https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/i...ents&loc=en_us

LOL that totally almost looks like to me that the "extra" pixels around the edges are part of the pre-extraction background of the image....doesn't that look like the side of a house?

Thank you all for the sweet welcomes! I had to think of ways to laugh because I was seriously about to cry.
 I feel like Rip Van Winkle who has just woken up after 20 years to discover that everyone else has learned skills while I was sleeping. I mean... look at y'all's signatures! They're gorgeous! I'm going to try a free trial period of some program, but it might be PSP since I'm somewhat familiar with it. Reagan's still president, right?

I have no advice beyond what has already been suggested, but I just wanted to say "ditto" to what the other gals have said. Welcome to SSD. You and that witty sense of humor will fit in just fine around here.

Well, I downloaded a free trial of Paint Shop Pro Version-CatchTheHeckUpJen. I can tell I won't be sleeping again any time soon. Gotta read all of the instructions.
You all probably know this... but there is a lot of information and awesome artwork out there in the world of digital scrapbooking. I thought I could just wander in with my quill and bottle of ink and put together a pretty little photo book. Part of me says that I'm in over my head and I'll never be able to do this. Another part is delighted to be able to tell you that my transparent png's are transparent once again. Progress! Seriously, I just don't know if I can do it.
