ok i cant find this anywhere. but when you chop a car from one background to another how do you get the curves so good. like if you look at mine i cant get it around the wheels or half the car like you guys can.

So how do you get it so close to make it look like that was the orginal background?

 

what program are you using?

 

best advise is to have patience. take your time when you 'cut' an image and you will get good results

(good photo editing software, i.e. photoshop, does help too )

 

i have cs2 and cs4

 

use the pen tool...

 

Will try. i use the lasso one than erase the extra's

 

Maybe try using the magic extractor tool, I sometimes use that.

 

Do you enlarge the picture before you chop it? Doing so allows you to cut it more cleanly. Also, you can look on youtube for Photoshop tutorials and they help alot.

by zooming in on the pic, you are definitely able 'cut' more cleanly; i use the polygonal lasso tool, btw. even though it only selects in 'straight lines', i feel you have better control over what exactly you want selected.

 

this is what i do.. the magnetic lasso makes alot of mistakes by itself, and the ordinary lasso is just terrible with a mouse


zoom and polygonal lasso ftw
