Cutting out images to another image Tutorial on PhotoShop

Alright this is easier then using the magnetic lasso tool. Sadly I don't have any pictures.

1. First copy the picture into the one you want it to be on.
2. Then erase a good amount of the background.
3. Next click on the magic wand tool and start clicking on the side of the image until it selects the outside part of the picture.
4th Then get your magic eraser tool and click on the area highlighted by the wand.
5th Repeat steps 3 and 4 until your entire image has no more background on it.

**Make sure each picture has its own layer**

Where can you get this photoshop?

They sell it at most stores I think I saw one at costco. Also ebay. Or you can download gimp which is free, but I personally don't like it.

oh ok anyway to download teh original one?

Wait, i thought you can only use wii internet? If so you can't download anything. Anyway you can just google free gimp download and it'll take you to adobe.

i have one but i cant hardly use it as my brother has no life and is always on it.

I use PDN, and I find a much easier way is to just use the zoom and eraser to carefully go around the edges, and use the Magic Wand for larger chunks first.

if you want to be as accurate as humanly possible, then use the pen tool to outline what you want to cut out, make selection, invert your selection, delete

That's a good way too, but I suck with pen tool so its a fail for me. I'd have better luck with the mag lasso.

For rendering flames/effects you need to use the channels in photoshop.

What does that have to do with the topic?
