Ok to start it all off. What do they call the pictures that have been cut and edited with photoshop or other program so that it is cut out around a certain object. I used to know this while searching for wrestlers but can't remember. Also....what do you people use to host images? I use picture trail but it seems after a month you have to upgrade using a credit card with money and I would like to know where I could host pictures for free. Thanks.

www.angelfire.com is a where I host mine

some ppl use geocities but it gets all spazstatic every once in while

and I think that the word you are looking for is "manip" short for manipulated.

Thanks for the help but I thought those sites wouldn't work for hosting. And about the manip....I don't think that was the word I was looking for but it still might work....thanks for all the help.

[Edit: It is a thing like jpeg very short but it means cutout of some sort. And some people have em of different things. If only I could remember it.]

No like using the Lasso and other tools to cut around a character or whatever you want. I remember there being a name for it so you could search for it and when you save the file you open it and it is just the character not the background.

Edit = I remember looking for wrestling pics and coming upon a name for them and they are just the wrestlers not the arena or ring they were in. But I also searched for other things under this name and found results for all kinds of things. I know I am not being descriptive and not explaining it well but thats all I can say.

Try www.villagephotos.com for hosting your images. As far as I know, it's always free unless you decide to upgrade. You get like 5 mb, which should be plenty if you're just hosting images.

PSD is the name of a photoshop file. There aren't any particular names for the things your talking about. Stryker's info was spot on. They're just pictures with transparent/no backgrounds.

Ok. Thanks for the help all. Maybe I was mistaken on it being a certain name. Maybe I really need to practise using Photoshop then.

Sorry for double post but this is a different question....Ok my picture in my avatar is hosted by angefire right now but when I came on I got a big picture but in the corner was the horrible red "x" that everyone hates....then I clicked show picture and its working now....is there something wrong?

[Edit: Does everyone have the x in the corner as well? Does it show the size of the picture but you have to right click and hit show picture to see it.]

Looks ok to me. Which is weird, cause I always thought that Angelfire was against hotlinking. *shrug*
