 |
|
Hi,
I have multiple images that i would like to only extract a player and have it on a black background. I dont want the cut outs to look choppy. I have attached a picture and would only like to get the player #8 out of the picture. I am going to be placing these on a black background for a flash intro that i am working on. Any suggestions on making this not look bad? Thanks

1. Zoom in (Ctrl +) a couple times.
2. Use the polygonal lasso tool to slowly(in small small steps) ouline him.
That is just one way there are numerous ones.
Go to this following link for more info on this matter.

I usually erase everything obvious around the image with a big brush, and then zoom in and use one of the soft brushes to brush out the background. in my opinion the polygon lasso tool causes to many hard edges.

Agreed. You should check out some tutorials on masking. A mask is basically a complex selection tool. Definately the best way to go about getting him out cleanly.

When I first used the polygonal lasso it was real choppy but now i zoom in so close and use such small steps that u cant tell lol. But I always do stuff the hard way.

Depending on the image, the best cutout you get is with the pen tool. Especially for this image nothing can beat this tool. The problem is that most people avoid to use it, because they never took some serious time to really learn how that tool works.

I agree with CS2 it is the best tool in most cases , although a bit hard to use when you first start using it. After a while it becomes quite intuitive and you can become very fast with it.
