If I were you, I would use the selection tool – freehand (set feathering at 10-20) and go around the part of the background you want to keep. Then edit, copy, edit paste as new image. Then you can apply the new image (copy it and edit/paste as new layer) and move that layer to the back. A lot of steps, I know, I but I don’t know how far along in the program you are. Good luck.

How do I make the background of an already existing image transparent. This is so I can just take this image and place it over another.

Yvonne, you will need to change the file extension to save it as a picture you can use elsewhere. The next time you get ready to save, type in the file name and right below that is the file format area, click it and change it to .jpg or .png. Hope that helps.

Jay, once your paintbrush is active, there’s a pull-down list of assorted brushes you can use (top left). One of them is “felt pen” and there are many more.

Zoxxy, you need do that when you initially open a new file.
File > New > Paper Color > Transparent.
