Start by looking over this FAQ, and let me know if you still have questions.

After you select with the marquee tool, you need to do the edit/copy before you do the paste..

When you select an area with the marquee tool, you should have the edit menu options available... are you using photoshop?

I get all the way to the step 6 with no problems and then it goes white

I may know what i did in the step 6 dialogue I titled the new image, would that screw it up?

Not sure... step 6 should open up a blank image, but then you should be able to paste your copy into that canvas...

thx for help john, i redid it skipping the first steps and just using the image sizing i think it worked, dpcprints says I have uploaded it anyway : )
one more question do I have to re-upload for every size of a print I want to sell of same image? As of now I did the largest one I thought would still be of good quality (8x10)?

If you just upload the biggest one, then all the smaller prints will use the same file, as long as the aspect ratio is the same. If you want a different aspect ratio you have to upload a new version in your portfolio and then do a separate print file.

sorry, but when do I add the price that I want to sell for? Once it has been approved re: size?

You'll submit and then it will go for review/approval. It's after they approve it that you'll price your work.
