I have a simple question on how to do something. I am fairly new to Photoshop. I come from a simple software program not as complex as Photoshop. I have upgraded to Photoshop and just learning it. I am using Photoshop CS2 on a PC with a OS of WIN 2000. I have a image and I just want to get the outside outline of this image. It has color and intricate designs inside the image. I want to white them out and just have the outside outline visable with a thick line. The edges of the image are somewhat blurred and I want to sharpen them. I know that you can use the eraser tool to white out the inside, but it is a large image and complex (a lot of curves and zig-zags). The eraser tool is too, in my hands at least, cumbersome. Also, the background of the image is black. I want to make it white.
I am hoping that there is a more automatic way to do this process. Any help would be appriciated and thank you in advance. Confused

You may be able to select all the white (or black) with the magic wand, but without seeing the pics it's hard to say what the best way of doing the things you want would be. Wayne
