  Howto & Style

Hi, thank you so much, this was very informative except that I can't seem to be able to save the image using the new background. Do do I do this? I'd like to drag it into another project but it only drags over the mask.Help

[A.J. Wood]

Dukunu101 - I assume by "drag it into another project" you're talking about another Photoshop file. Keep in mind you've just created a layered file. The reason the mask is probably going over is you've only selected one layer. Select all the layers, or merge them before dragging. (Keep in mind the merged layers cannot be separated ever).

HOW DO YOU RESIZE THE TOOL AT THE BEGINING?! Sorry! I'm a newbie

[A.J. Wood]

cuTiecaTn - properties for any tool can be found in the Options across the top of the screen just under the horizontal menu. In the case of brushes, you'll see the brush size options as a pulldown menu just off to the top left side of the screen.

I can't select just the person, when I move my cursor near the edges of the photo it automatically moves towards the edge of the photo, like it jumps there.

[A.J. Wood]

JLimoo - when using the Quick Selection Tool paint from the middle of your subject out. If the selection is jumping outside your subject, its color is too close to your background color. Remember you can use the OPT or ALT key to subtract extra areas from your selection. Also don't hesitate to use another selection tool after making an initial selection. There isn't a rule that says "One tool to rule them all." The secret is in the combinations of tools & menus.

pain in the ass tutorial.. why don't open those windows during the video to show us how to get there? why they already open? i have no revert button..

So.. i found my way which is.

Make a new blank image and paint it with any color you want, go to the main pic and remove the background with magic eraser tool, now simply move it with move tool in the other image background you created earlier and that's it.
