I have an image,and I am trying to take just 1 of the characters off this image,I have already used the eraser tool and erased all the way around my image,but now that this is done,how do I trace it and copy it onto a blank background to place onto a different image?

I hope this makes sense LOL,please if anyone has any info on this I would love to hear it,I am now stuck.

Thanks

What I would've done (using Paintshop Pro, at least), is get the background image you wnat to put the object into, trace around the object you want, copy it from the original image, and then paste the object onto the other image.

--or--

You could trace the object you want, promote it to a new layer, and then insert a new background under it ("Paste As New Layer"...or something like that).

...Now that I've thoroughly confused you, I know someone else will chime in -- one who actually uses Photoshop.

Open up a new file, and drag and drop your already erased layer.  That should allow you to insert a layer between (I use drag and drop all the time) for a new background.
