  • Good tutorial. One question though. Why are all these tutorials and videos so easy to do? You guys always choose the easiet images to work with? Show me an image of that brick wall on a night sky background and a good selection. Or a black hair selection on a night sky/night city.

  • Hi Mr. Harrington, I have a new CS5 and actions menu does not include video actions. Is that menu supplied by Adobe or did you create the actions. Thanks, mark

  • i want to know how to make the background transparent with the tiny little white bits coming off it

  • MAC... BOOOOOO!!!!

  • I dont have Video Actions.....what is wrong??

  • @Rawesyn Expreienced people (not theese guys) will be able to take any picture and know exactly which tools to use, for the picture youre describing, you would need to use the magic wand tool, oh and instead of doing all this mask/layer crap, just select the part of your picture you dont want (aka invisible part) and just click delete, then save as a png!

  • is this a alpha channel or layer alpha channel?
