Picture Hosting/Picture Question

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.

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*
