not sure, don't have the book in front of me

I'm not sure if there is actually an error in the book, or if it's just me. I'm
trying to make the project featured on the cover, the Mosaic. I have no problem
creating the first new layer- a square with a transparent value of 50%. My problem is
that when I do a cut/paste onto a new layer for each part of the original picture, my
cutouts retain the transparency. I don't think that's what should be happening. The
picture in the book shows that each cutout is completely removed from the background
layer and pasted onto a new layer. Like I said, my cutouts are transparent. I'm
frustrated. Help.
