What Exactly Is Pink? by °dalarty 3 weeks 3 days ago

Not too much for me to say about this wallpaper that hasn't already been said: Dalarty has provided a descriptive walk through all the way from the concept idea, to its execution and ultimately its fruition. And you can really see how that careful planning paid off. But it just goes to show, good ideas take time---and a whole lot of patience!

Some use the extract filter, some use lasso tool, there are many ways to do it. Personally I use the pen tool.

Once you've got the image extracted, just use the move tool and drop it onto your background.

DON"T use anything other than the PEN TOOL everything else is ..horrible
just open the scan of your choice, open it in PS.
start extracting...
afteryou're done, it should be a PSD file. open new . 1600X1200 dimension or whatever, and duplicate the PSD extracted scan file to the new file window. and ...start working on a bg.

Really?

I've always used the polygon lasso tool to remove the unwanted parts and find it far more effective than farting about using the pen tool :/

The only real key to extraction is the quality of the image you work with - high res, good quality and you're already half way to good extraction, no matter what technique you happen to prefer.

----

Anywho on the actual point of the thread, if you right click on the character scan layer in the layer pallete you should see a "duplicate" option which will allow you to move your character image to your background file.

I use both lasso and pen tool, I tends to use the pen tool because I feel I get the better outcome, but its about 3 times more time needed to extract, and the lasso if I make a mistake, its a pain sometimes.

I prefer zooming the image to maximum, but that depends of peoples liking.
