a few quick questions

I have been making icons for awhile but just recently got a good program (PSP9)

-Is it possible to do an exclusion layer in PSP9? And how do you make borders for icons (or anything) that are jagged/irregular?


-In an icon like this one by dismembered, how do you make one part of the photo grayscale and the other part colorized (and such a small part)? The magic wand tool?

-And lastly, is it possible to remove text from a foreground so only the background shows? (I know the opposite is possible).

Thank you very much!
