Re: cutting out images

I want to draw some pictures of children in different poses which

I think that you will find that Microsoft Photo Story does not permit the overlay of one picture upon the other. It also does not properly handle transparent GIF or TARGA files (which you need). You can give something of an illusion using its transition mode but still not have the proper overlay of images.

So what you really need is something more simple to build the pictures to bring into Photo Story.
