I have been building web pages for a short time using Dreamweaver. I found several templates that I would like to use but they all come with .jpg and gif files that seem to be from either Painshop or Photoshop. Each picture has "Mydomain.com" or some text in the picture that requires change. If the background is a solid color then I can cut and fill to same MATCHED background and put in my own text. HOWEVER a good many that need change have a complex background like a scene or person which I am unable to change. I have Paintshop and not Photoshop which may be needed. It would seem that maybe these pictures may be done in layers and save as such and require different SOFTWARE to be able to work on separated layers.
Is there something that I'm not seeing or doing that I could get some guidance on?

Can you upload a SAMPLE so we can try?  If the picture is copyright protected, you can't (shouldn't) change it without the author's SAY so - they're watermarked with the domain.com logo so you'll go to them and ask (pay) for a picture without the watermark.  If it's not a copyright issue, let us try to help
