selection problem

I am trying to cut out an object with the gimp path tool and paste into another file in PS Elements editor.. I have the object isolated in a transparent alpha channel on a pSD file. It does not seem to matter whether I use Copy or Copy Visible when it is pasted on to the new file the object appears on a black background. How can I lift just the desired object on to the new file. I would much appreciate your advice. Eain

Why are you using Copy & Paste? Are you trying to insert it into an existing image?
In this case, I would use 'File > Open As Layer...' [CTRL +ALT*O]. Otherwise, all
you have to do is, to open the PSD file in Gimp. It does import PSD files, and it does
preserve the alpha channel as well.

HTH,

Correctly, it should read [CTRL+ALT+O] ;-)
