I really need the silly rug texture taken out from behind the hands and replaced with something simple, just a simple white/off-white background if possible, the areas around the arms where the rug overlaps is causing me nightmares.

I'd be really grateful, thanks!

I did cut out the hands and saved it as a PNG (no background.
You can put the hand on whatever background you like.

My take on this is slightly different from Eggy's in that I wanted to get a somewhat better skin tone (ie, reduce the orange color cast in the original).

Since the original was so blurry and noisy, and this was only an example, I didn't spend a lot of time on the cutout / selection process, so halos are visible against the darker background when the composite is put together. With more care, these could be reduced.

Attachment #1 is a screen grab with the checkerboard pattern that shows the background has been removed

#2 is the actual PNG (note - it shows up in this preview with a white background, even though it is transparent).

#3 is my guess at the sort of background you might be thinking about.

HTH,

Tom M
