Hi, for all you graphics makers out there. I got a question. How do you make a cool background on banners? And how do you cut out a picture so you just have the picture and not the background of it?

In photoshop,

You just use some filters, or brushes to make backgrounds.

To cut the picture use the "lasso tool". And to fix it up, use the eraser.

If you have Photoshop 7.0 you can cut out pics easy...kind of.

Just go to Filter>Extract. Then work from there. It usually works, but some times leaves bad edges.

Or; you can use the lazy method like I do, and use the eraser with a feathered edge, and pretty big size and quickly cut.

For cutting aswell on Photoshop next to the lasso tool there is like a magic cut thing, and thats perfect for scans and stuff, click the part to cut out and press delete and it'll be like pefect but thats only for some pictures.

FOr background just do effects and use brushes.

Anyone got any tips for this in PSP?
