Yet Another New Sig
 

*See Below

While the dame is, I'm sure, tasty the blue glow needs to go. Other than that good job.

Where did you find the girl?

Valid Point. However, i found if i dulled the colour in that pic of Catherine Bell any more, it would look too washed-out, so i had to leave it. I'm entirely self-taught with Photoshop, so i cannae go too elaborate :P

Lose the outer glow.

Its not an outer glow, its a poorly cut picture..

no its an outer glow

*Sigh* Look at the orignal picture that he used (the one that buck posted) and compare it to the picture in the sig..
Look really close and you will notice that there is two different blue's in it, divided by a horizon..
Exactly as the orignal picture..
Hence, its not a added glow, but a poorly cut picture..

That cutting isn't that terrible, it just looks bad saved as a transparent gif. For best cutting results, use the pen tool.

Hey Man,

Thanks a bunch for that, makes the v1.1 of the sig look much better! It's nice to see that some people actually still help others on this forum. Good job. Flagg -> beer: <- Wilko

Here's the new one
 

The differences are that i used the Catherine Bell pic that Flagg graciously spent his time doing, and i also upped the colour on the pic of Gregory Peck, so he didn't look as washed out. Is this okay?
(Here's the old one for comparison)

Better

damn shes fucking hot

Much improved.

no problem at all man ...just glad i could help out

I use the magnetic lasso when croping. It does a great job of following the line of your subject. Then I zoom in and touch it up with the regular eraser.

I just go straight on with the eraser.. biggrin:

Like I said before, the pen tool is the best way to do it.

Same here.

I am among the eraser group....

How do you use the pen , Magnum?

I use the regular lasso because the magnetic lasso always does what I don't want it to do and most the time my hand will get me almost the same results

Zoom in to 200-300%, then trace around the edge of whatever you want to cut with the pen tool, laying down anchor points as you go. Then, when you have the outline traced with a path, go to the paths palette (next to layers and channels), and Ctrl+click the path. This will transform it into a selection, and you can layer mask/erase/whatever. You can do basically the same thing with the polygonal lasso. The advantage of the pen is that you can adjust your selection much more easily.

That sounds much more tedious than the eraser. But I'll give a shot just the same , Thanks.

It is tedious, but you get excellent results. Remember kids, if it's worth doing, it's worth doing well, and things worth doing well in Photoshop take time.

definatly, well said wink:

When you youngsters get old and arthritis sets into your hands and your prostate swells up so that you can't sit long without taking a leak, you'll switch to the magnetic lasso. biggrin:

By that time, mice will probably be obsolete.

its all about the magic wand ...

just select the area you want to cut with the wand ..then fade it out
