Cut Out ?

[Who, me ?]

Hello

I'd like some help on a way to modify a picture.

Actually, I make a picture, let's say my car in front of my house. I wish to have only the car and no more house. A kind of cut out ...

How do I do that ??

Thanks a lot .

Hi,

You could use VCW Vicman's photo editor

You can download it from www.vicman.net/vcwphoto/

It's freeware and has a 'magic wand' selection tool to allow you to select areas.

I've been using it for similar tasks.

Thanks Kat1...Will try it now

Adobe Photoshop is my favorite. The magic wand technique for selecting pixels within a certain color range can be pretty handy, but there is also a lasso tool that allows you to drag a selection around whatever it is you want to cut out. It's pretty smart at figuring out what's what. The blur tool is also pretty essential to blur the cut-out with whatever new background you’re adding. Its takes away that cut-out look and helps with things that are really hard to isolate well, like hair.

If you're using photoshop to mask photos, I would recommend trying the extract tool instead (CTRL-Alt-X). It's specifically designed for this purpose, and in most cases superior.

Think this may be the kind of thing you are looking for.

Quick and simple, click Start, Run, then type MSPAINT, click OK.

A very basic program that will allow you to "crop" any image and save the result.

You can add simple titles touch bit up etc.

Zeo cost and is fine for most quick jobs.

No trip to the software shop or downloading required as is part of almost all Windows OS's.

Thanks for interest and answer, Cuban. I think I can do the kind of operation I need with this program.

Paint.net is another program that works like PhotoShop but doesn't hog your drive. Try it!

Hi “Who,Me?”

I had not actually downloaded this program myself so did not realize it would not be straightforward.

It seems the “LiquidRescale” is a plug-in for the free program GIMP.

Wikipedia

I would sugest installing GIMP and then installing the LiquidRescale plug-in, but I am only guessing here so don’t shoot the messenger if it does not work.
