Creative Photo Chopping: A Tutorial

[eightyeightfan1]

After, you are satisfied, with everything that you wanted to remove, you need a background. I'm picking one that I took of my neighborhood during an approaching storm. A good background is one taken from a distance. After picking one that looks good, you can start by using the "grab" tool(#2), or the selction tool(#1). On the right you'll see the background highlighted(#3), you then drag the "cutout"(#4) on to the backdrop. Its going to take some positioning, and stretching to get the photo fit the background. This all can be done with the selection tool and your mouse.
