The second one? The bit where you drag it? Make sure your holding down the mouse button while you drag it.

I'm having trouble with the image showing up on the other one. I have the picture of a sim, but instead of moving the sim, it moves the background. Am I doing it wrong??

DNJ, is your sim wearing something with white on it? If you want to cut a sim out, you should first make sure you take the picture on a background that is a different color from anything else on your sim. As such, a white background is not always your best choice. Try using a different background color for the shot?

DeliaLili, are you using GIMP or photoshop? I'm assuming GIMP has layers, so hopefully this advice will be helpful either way... but usually, when you cut something out and paste it onto another pic, the copied picture is pasted onto its own separate layer. Before you try moving the pic around, make sure you are on the same layer as the sim, then try clicking the sim to move it. I hope that makes sense ._.

Oeh, another way of placing sims onto another background with GIMP. I think this one is better than mine. Tongue
Ad pandasan gave about the exact same advice I was thinking of, so I have nothing left to say. Wink

Why can't life be like The Sims, where you can control someone with just one click?

These are some excellent tutorials, and very easy to follow at that.  Thanks for these guides, everyone!  Now I have a question little question...  :angel:

Usually, when I save my pictures as jpeg files in the editing program that I use (really old version of PhotoImpact... 4.2 to be exact), my pictures always come out fuzzy and less detailed than they originally were.  Do programs like PhotoShop and GIMP prevent this from happening?  Most of my edited images are ".png" files, and I'd like to at least cut back on the loading time and file size of them on the web, but I also don't want to loose the actual quality of the picture, even after touch-ups, warming, etc.  Any tips?  :happy8:

Tenshii, I think there is a difference when using Photoshop at least. I know whenever I attempt to save anything as a .jpg in Photoshop, I am prompted with several options relating to the compression. I always try to choose the highest settings. I can't testify to what GIMP does..  But anyway, I'm usually pretty satisfied with the way my pictures look, despite being .jpg Smiley

Thanks, panda!  :smile bi:  I went ahead and gave GIMP a go, (since PS is way out of my price range at the moment) and it does have similar functions to what you mentioned above.  Really helps a lot, especially the way I go back and forth editing my contest pics.  :lol:
