Answer
hi Michael,

1. Open the picture
2. play with the lasso tool, the one that looks like a lasso on the tool bar and make an outline aroud a part you want cut out. (no trick, just play with it)
3. start a new document
4. with the object surrounded by the marching ants (the dots), drag the object into the new document.
5. Each piece will be in what is called layers. You can not move each piece without messing things up.
6. click autodrag on the top left (when the arrow is selected) to automatically click files. If not, you'll need to click the layer each time you want to move something.
