CORPSE

PHIL...............A really big thank you for taking the time to do this.......I am printing the 4 pages as I type........all of my photo-Processing skills have been self taught so there are huge gaps in my skills base. I tend to stick with what I know.............like all software, it is knowing what to click and where to find what you want and how much to do it: Off to practice now:-) FUJI

Mine's a PINT!

Thanks BP, I will give that a go later. FUJI

Some processes in CS3 I have the hang of, but, no matter how I try I just cant get a clean edge blur around complicated shapes like this: The other day a genuin Romany piper turned up in town complete with piebald horse pulling a traditional Bow-Top caravan.....I took a seies of shots: But I had no way of choosing a neutral background, just the everyday main street with vehicles flashing by every few seconds. You can see that I have attempted a magnetic mask.....tried the lassoo.....to isolate then Gaussian blur the offending background.......I do have a pen tablet attached to the Desktop PC, but even with that following an edge precisely isn't easy....even for an artist: N.B. The pic is completely unprocessed except for the blur mask exactly as I drew it: Anyone have an easier method please? View LARGE to see what I mean......Click on pic: CHEERS! FUJI
