PhotoShop addvice please. crop and paste
if I want to crop/cut out a pic of my car from a photo, whats the best way to cut around the object, which lassoo (sp) setting do i pick?
do you roughly lassoo cut around the object, then re lassoo around that so you can COPY it, then paste it onanother picture, then erase the rough edges of the car to show the new background through?
Is blowing up/enlarging it to a big picture the better way to see what edge you erase out?
SJSkyline did show me, but I've forgot how to do it as he did it so quick lol

I personally use the pen tool... especially if it is a hardlines object. Zoom in to your hearts content.
I only really use the lassoo for rough cutting and pasting
But thats me

Err, I think that's a bloke in drag?
Seriously though, you need to crop your selection more to get rid of the 'halo'.
There are some really good tutorials on that website. I'm going to try some line drawing, I've always wondered how that's done in Photoshop. Will post the results....

Pen is the best for me as you can get in really close and adjust all of the anchor points and lines.
If you just just go around and click the points in the anchors won't be adjustable... if when you put the anchor in you drag the point slightly before releasing the mouse button, two control arms will appear which will mean that the line can be adjusted.
Might not make any sense.. give it and some tutorials a blast

I tried the 'turn any photograph into a line drawing' tutorial earlier. Cropped my Greeves engine from a photograph, and followed the proceedure. Worked great, just like a pen and ink render you might see in any manual.
I can make use of this.

Well 84.. you can either do some pen work around the heads... make a selection.. then invert the selection then delete... that should leave all but the heads.
or you can mask the heads off and take the eraser to the entire image...

Am afraid I haven't used the program in while :/
The tutorial Avi posted a link to should be a good help. Basically follow that tutorial...
Make a selection as it says in the end... then either right click and highlight invert selection... or go up to the menu and the invert selection should be there somewhere ...
Hit delete then that should just leave you with the heads....
Sorry.. it has been a while since I have used it and very rusty

That's what all the 'boys' say...
There's a kind of white band around her head, upper body, and the rh car door and wing mirror IIRC. It would help to sort that out. Did I notice you added a blue outline around it? That would work better IMO if the above was sorted out.

that might be a little of the original pic it cut from, ie: the background/sky around the hair.
i used the FILTER to get the blue/neon effect on the background
I then pasted the car/girl over the layer 1, then did the effect on layer 1, keeping the car/girl as layer 2 separate.

Had a quick play with the Pen Tool earlier and came up with this - based on an image of my former girlfriend..
Quite pleased so far. Will update as I add more detail.
