Im trying to import a background that i drew in photoshop (jpg.) and an animation sequence also (jpg.) in the same project (want to put them together) but everytime open one or the other it starts a new project!, i dont know what to do.. please help!

When you open it, you'll get a panel where you have to chose between project and layer. Layer is the one you want.

Oh cool, thanks!
um do you mind answering another question?
where are the select and crop tools in tvp?
thanks!

In the tools palette - where else?

Seriously, spend some time with the manual.

Seriously, spend some time with the manual.

The user manual , yes, and there are also some video tutorials , like "The Interface of TVPaint" , "How to Animate" , "How to Customize Hotkeys" , etc. on the Tutorials page:

There is also a page with older tutorials made using TVPaint 9 , but apart from some changes in the interface (the way menus are more compacted in TVPaint 10, for example) and some of the terminology used ( "Video Grabber" is now called "Video Input" , etc.) the tutorials that were made using TVPaint 9 are still valid for learning to use TVPaint 10 , so take a look at those tutorials :
