to unlock



Click that --> that's for normal layers though....

Oh. Background layers are always locked. If you dont want them, when making a new document go to file >> new >> Background color/contents: and change that to transparent.

and what exactly does everyone mean by the transparent backgrounds?

cut out?

Well let's see, you can use the want, or the pen tool, or a lasso. polygonal will prolly work better.
