tutorial: how to select the image(s) to use

DO:
- select a png image with the background already erased (if possible) how to check; make sure the background is checkered :)
.> it's darkened because of my computer. generally, the checkered background will be brighter

- choose a high quality picture, everything is clear and sharp

- an image with the character and a plain background, one colour

DON'T:
- choose a low quality picture, nor a picture that's SUPER SMALL 
> suggestion, look for better pictures that aren't pixelated until like this. 

  - an image with a very fanciful background (unless you're going to resize it and make it fit the whole cover)  
> suggestion, go look for pngs instead 

still can't find your ideal picture?
