I have been moving props from photobucket and a few things like a door with see-through windows and a fancy picture frame you can see through in the blank spaces the frame does not occupy. when I copy them ( using paint ) the background goes black and now my ornate picture frame when attached to a sign the background is black and no longer see through and my door where there was glass is now black ........ any Ideas ?

Any picture with transparency on it must be saved as png file type. Pre windows 10 paint didnt support png. Could this be the problem?

I did a little research after my first post, I should have said some versions of paint didnt support transparency, not png format. Apparently it was there but a hidden feature.

Theres a few more powerful free programs you can try..

A lot of people use Gimp or there's paint.net

https://www.getpaint.net/index.html
https://www.gimp.org/

both take a little time to learn but are well worth it
