A rough, 2-minute Transparent Image

Hopefully that explains it a little better, a Transparent Image is an Image pasted on a Background that dosnt really exist

Ah, thank-you.

Heres a tut for transparent images, because I'm bored, and have no life

You need to start with a transparent background. Look here:-

Open you image. I used the polygonal lasso tool to cut around my image and put it on the background.

I then stroked my image.

Then, I saved it as .gif, and made sure transparency was ticked.

Hope this helps

Does anyone have a tut on how to stroke an image like above^ not the blue bit the white bit?

Just make a selection, go to Edit>Stroke and enter pixel and color settings.

See my problem is how do I select the person? Not the whole thing.

Lasso Tool or Rectangular Marquee (feathered)

See my problem is how do I select the person? Not the whole thing.

The Hilary image, itself that Emily posted wasn't stroked/cut out.

But if you want to stroke an image here's how I do it...Select the polygonal lasso tool, and make sure in the toolbar, where it says 'feather', around 0.5-2.5 is entered in. Go around you image until you've cut out the background. Select your new cut image (so it should just be the person by themself, no background) and go to Edit>Stroke e.t.c.
