  • @SatansCheese You can add the extract filter to cs4 for free just by downloading it.

  • Great tut, thanks!

    Just as a helpful tip, rather than trace straight and angled lines like your first image using freehand, simply click one spot, then go to the end of the line you want it to draw, hold shift, then click again. It will connect both places where you clicked. A huge time saver and makes life so much simpler ;)

  • @10293847565846800 Why use the Extract filter over the Magic Wand? In the past, I've used the magic wand to select a part of the image to remove. I wasn't aware of extract. Lots of problems with the wand, so this is nice. The wand often selects the wrong things or not what you want to select.

  • Sounds like AntVenom

  • Ok...

  • I LOVE PS :)

  • help me please? when i click on the eraser and i try to erase the background that was left over it doesnt rub it out!? someone please help me

  • thissss guyyyyy!

  • Couple more tips. Don't use the history brush. You can but you see in this tut one of the issues with it. I normally duplicate the image (not just the layer). Then use the Clone Stamp tool and you can zoom in on one pixel and with a 1 pixel brush set it perfect. The benefit of this is you have another untouched version to look at while you work.

    The other thing is don't do this on a trans, bg. Create a white and black layer (2 total), and go back and forth depending on the pic.
