If you play neopets or anything this a cool thing! So you can use it for your userlookup, your shop, gallery etc...
Ok...so enough about that. Let's start!
1. FIND a image you want to use. I'll use this:

2. Open up paint.NET
3. Find the LAYERS window and make a new layer.


3. Click on the "add new layer" button an d you should have a new layer. (new layer has a checker type pattern)

4. Double Click on the BACKGROUND layer or click on the "layer properties" button

5. Set the opacity to 100 or anything between 100 and 150. Hit Then hit OK when you're happy with it

6. PASTE your picture in now.
7. If the canvas is too big then go to the top and hit "crop to selection"

10. Then select the second layer (click on it once) and paste your picture there again.
11 Use the selector tool to select what part you wanna make transparent. (deselect all of the image first; located at the right of the "crop to selection" button)

12. Cut the part you selected. (ctrl+x) It should have that checker pattern.
13. IMPORTANT STEP!!!!!!! next you must flatten your image. To do so...Go to "image" and select "flatten" Or press ctrl+shirt+F. Then the second layer becomes the background. Then you can add text and stuff if you want.
Then you're done!
You're finished project:

If you want to put text in the transparent part...(for websites, neopets, etc...)
1. UPLOAD your image.
2. Use neoextreme's blog coder to code your image.
3. You're done! Congrats!
