    How do i cut out objects from images properly?

    If you want to cut out images like this PROPERLY as stated in your question, you're going to want to get acquainted with the pen tool, especially if you're going to use the shape in a silhouette illustration like the one you posted. Forget the magic lasso exists and never, NEVER use it to make...

    Organising a many-layered image

    Select the groups/layers that make up, say, the first outfit and convert them to a smart object. This smart object is still editable but all of your groups and layers appear as only 1 layer in your master file. The same for outfit #2, etc. Or you could make separate smart objects out of just the...

    Copy Merged is cropping the image when it pastes

    Sounds like your blank space is just that, blank (transparent). You need to fill that blank space with white. Copy Merged will ignore any transparent areas.

    Tiger Pencil Sketch for Art Coursework

    Zeealex, your drawing is a good attempt. But you need to start really looking at the subject and building a foundation for your drawing. Remember that a tiger is a biological subject that lives in 3D space. The idea is to try and convey that in your drawing. You're spending too much time on...

    Please please help!

    Your problem is that you've turned the motorcycle into a group and the group's properties are being applied to the letters. These properties are a drop shadow and no fill (notice opacity is greyed out). So when you apply the appearance to the letters, the letters have no fill and the drop shadow...

    Dog Drawing 1st attempt

    I think your book basically spells it out for you: learn the basics first. Although a good attempt, if you really want to learn to pencil draw you need to start with the foundations. It's like constructing a skyscraper. Without a solid foundation the building collapses. A good place to start is...

    how to cut out hair from similar colored background?

    This is where we turn to the old tried and true method used by the pros: hair masks. It basically involves repainting the edges of the hair. Some images just don't separate well from backgrounds using automated masking filters (computers are stupid). A higher resolution file would help a...

    Re: In CS5, Layer select with out CTRL + Click? PLEASE HELP I've tried everything !! It still works in CS5. Make sure you're holding the command key on the MAC (also called the open apple key or beanie key). It should look like this: I believe on the PC you'd use the Windows key, but I don't...

    Do you believe in aliens?

    I'm not exactly sure which Bible you're reading, Paul. But Moses is not quoted as saying any such thing in any book of the Old Testament. So there is no "coincidence" there. But even if it was an actual quote, how do get from "Moses knew the earth was round" to "we're not alone in the universe"...

    a little bit of help?

    This is pretty advanced image composite. If you know nothing about masks and layers, you're really not going to be able to pull of a composite like this. If you're a newbie, learn the basic tools, practice basic skills and work up towards doing something like this. Using Photoshop is a bit like...
