PSP x2 copy and paste cropped image

I am new to PSPP X2.
Used freehand selection to copy an object and pasted successfully as a new layer to another image in PSP environment (only the object is showing).
When tried to paste the same to another application such as Epson Print CD, a retangular frame with white background showing as well. What did I do wrong?
Thank you.

You've done nothing wrong. When you paste back into PSP, the program correctly interprets the pixels outside the selection as being transparent. Epson CD Print doesn't recognise them as transparent, and makes them white, which is transparent when you print.

Tim,

Thanks for the quick reply but it doesn't work. It printed with the retangular white background.

Does Espon Print CD import transparency from images like GIF or PNG? If so you can just paste your selection as a new image and save it to a PNG with transparency turned on.

**File menu -> Export -> PNG Optimizer. Under the transparency tab select Single Color Transparency and use the current layer transparency. Then save **

Then import the image into your program and that should do well.

I followed your instructions and it is still not working. Also found something else, tagging, is not working. May be I need to re-install the whole thing. What do you think?
