what on earth are you trying to do?

dunno CS2, but normally you just select an area with teh lasssssssoooooooooo thingie and then press CTRL+T, or whatever it is in the menu

I'll explain tomorrow, but

when I cut out a selection ( nicely feathered and AA, I'm not that dumb ) and save it or put it on another layer, every time I paste it into another picture and transform it the ants move but the fucking picture just sits where it was pasted no matter what I do.

it's not indexed colour mode is it?

check in image⇒mode⇒RGB (or CMYK)

I'll take a look later

I don't have it on this PC. I'll be going upstairs later to do some more tutorials ( can't shop and be on the net, no production )

But thanks. There will be a simple answer as I've done it before. I can always mash it in PSP 9 if I'm desperate ) now that PSP supports .psd files )

I think the best thing to do

is to just play with the different tools before just jumping into tutorials.
My fave things in tattyshop are the brush dynamics. If you play with them you can get some great effects. Very good if you have a tablet.

I was messing with that for ages last night

Very good fun and I saved a few brushes.
I just like to run through tutorials as I'm one of those who if I do it once I've got it. if I read manuals without doing it does not sink in.
I'll get there. I only want to do a few things for the b3ta zoo and something to get up Rik's nose anyway ;)

is it not just ctrl + T ?

or when you have the move tool selected (v) and have the show bounding box ticked, you can just hold ctrl when moving one of the box points

yeah

I try it but just the selection boundary moves and the picture just sits there mocking me and when I apply it there is no change

As long as it has got magenta

we'll manage just fine without this electric-trickery lark.
