Hey Peoples...

As I get more and more familiar with doing funny photoshops of my friends - I am really wishing / Hoping there is a way to do this....

How do I inversely crop out a background? For example - If I have a photo - one layer - and i trace around a face with the maganetic selection tool - once i have gone around the face - I wanna delete the backround and just leave the face - How do I do that?

One you have your selection closed, if you right click you should get a menu, one of the first few options should be "Select Inverse" choose that.

I would highly suggest that you develop a habit of using the pen tool for making selections as much as possible. You will have loads more control and you will get better results.
