I am not telling blender to put this graphic on the whole mesh. When I create a new material my mesh automaticly turns black and the graphic gets placed on the whole mesh. I dont want it on the whole mesh I just want it on the UV map
Maybe I need to copy the mesh to a new document so it looses its data and start over one face at a time. ? but still it seams there should be a way to see what data is attached to the mesh and a way to clear it off. Also I inadvertently switched from data to object in the materials panel. Maybe that the problem.

Hello. First of all make sure to have a light object inside the scene. Second, check out my post here on how I apply textures to be shown both in material and solid views. Hopefully it helps.
Here in the post above I started out selecting a face and assigning a material to that face. And it worked out. But now from this post I can see how I can override a mesh that has already been UV unwrapped be assigning a material to it first.
