looking for a good tutorial on extracting b/g images and so forth.. wanna brushen up on my skills and find that removing backgrounds is my big weakness.. :) thnx

Hi Jenn..I think your best bet is to pick up a book on Photoshop. Someone else recommended that in a previous post.

yeah tempted to.. i mean i can extract images (remove my bg and keep my body there) but not very sharp and when it comes time to touch up where i removed it just looks horrid

Here are a few tutorials from my bookmarks...hope it helps

Think of it another way....
Think...remove your body, not remove the background. It might be easiter that way.
:2 cents:

Filter>Extract :)

coo let me check em out :P

doing that but rough around the edges

Read a revised edition on Photoshop.:)

There are two cleanup tools that will help. Instead of extracting right after you fill, hit preview and then you can use the cleanup tools to erase a little more or add some back.

I also use the polygonal lasso tool often. The pen tool also works well.

tootie can u hit me up on icq please :P
