    Hey

    I know this may sound completly stupid but im using photoshop cs2 to try and make some posters . All I want to do is take a logo from another file and place it onto the picture i need.

    Now I cant cut the logo cause i dont know how sigh and i cant tranfer a pic onto another..

    I know im an idiot. Is this easy?

    Make a selection around the logo using one of the selection tools (I assume there are some, I use PS 6.0). You can use the Rectangular Marquee, the Lasso or the Magic Wand tool. Then just Edit->Cut and Edit->Paste into the other image. Let me know if you get anywhere with that.

    yep those tools are still in CS2, as Ruu said you need to select the pixels you want then copy (either with edit > copy or CTRL+C) and paste into your poster document (edit > paste or CTRL + V) you can then use the move tool (top right of tool pallet) to position your logo.

    If the pixels surrounding your logo are plain white (or some other colour) you can select them easily by clicking on the colour with the magic wand tool, right click and pick "select similar" to pick up any stray bits such as background colour inside letters like "o". Check your selection, the "marching ants" to ensure you have everything but the logo selected, maybe use another selection tool to tidy up any rough edges (use CTRL and SHIFT to add to or remove from the selection with any selection tools).
    Then go to the selection menu and pick invert selection (or CTRL + SHIFT + I)

    I highly recommend Adobe Photoshop Killer Tips for all simple interface tricks like these because sometimes they can be far from initiative! There's lots of quick video podcasts on exactly questions like yours. I've learned a lot from this and its big brother Photoshop TV.
