how can u save it to put on html pls. help...

[ConnorCrosbyPrdctns]

@TheLarryorpilla There are a couple ways you could do this. One would be to use the slice tool (found underneath the crop tool). Make a square around what you want to be saved as an image. Then go to File > Save for Web & Devices... Then choose the file type on the top right (such as PNG or JPG) and click save at the bottom right. Make sure to choose slices or something from the drop-down menu.

Another option is to just copy and paste the image into a new document and save.

whats the x tool how did you recover his face at 3:07? when i pressed x it just filled with black paint when locked a transparent when unlocked.. nice vid plz help

[ConnorCrosbyPrdctns]

@sleepyheadx7 I meant the "X" key on your keyboard. Make sure you have the mask selected, otherwise you will see black paint.

@iVisioNx3 that's fine. I just made money off your view. Thank you for stopping by.

@XmajormongooseX well, it sucks to be you!

Very helpful tutorial. Thank you.

[ConnorCrosbyPrdctns]

@theC4K3is4lie you would have to use the crop tool and then save it as a jpg or a png if you'd like to retain the transparency.

@ConnorCrosbyPrdctns how can we get it so when we save as an image after cropping, WITHOUT resizing or loading/saving another file, photoshop does NOT render all that extra space?

[ConnorCrosbyPrdctns]

@JetPr0ducti0ns I suggest the refine edges tool.

I think your videos are very informative and really easy to understand,not many photoshop 'teachers' on youtube can claim that trait. So well done and Kudos to you buddy :))
