I'm new to photoshop CS6 and I'm having some trouble. I'm trying to make cutout pictures like Melinda Gibson (see picture 1 and 2) but I can't manage to do this. I want to take a picture of the outline of a person (see picture 3) and cut out the center of the picture over another picture. That was I have the form of the person with the background of the second picture. But I can't figure it out. I tried to "select inverse" after using the magic lasso tool but I don't get the cut out, just a line
I'm not sure how this is done in Photoshop, and have not yet seen any tutorials on it. I was wondering if someone could provide me with some pointers.
There are two questions for this topic, first I want to describe what I'm working on then I'll ask the questions.
I took a picture of my daughter on her first birthday riding a stuffed horse. I then found a picture of a horse for sale on the internet and wanted to cut my daughter out and put her on the horse. I also took a picture out my front door. and I want to put the horse in my front yard.
I'm merely doing this as a self-tutorial as I am trying to learn Photoshop - I don't have any goal with the pictures other than to learn how to accomplish two things.
1) When cutting out the horse, and my daughter for that matter, I have an issue with the hair. In the original picture the horse's tail is dangling over lush grass. I live in the desert - so I either will need to cut out some of the tail or learn how to dissolve the green from the tail. Is there a way to accomplish this in photoshop?
2) The second issue is lighting issues. The original pictures of the horse and my daughter were taken on bright sunny days. The picture in my front yard was taken overlooking a storm coming in from the mountains in the distance. So I need to learn how to blend the images correctly to fit into the stormy picture.
How do I create cutouts that maintain their irregular shape, instead of placing them on a white background when I save them? I'm trying to create images that aren't squares that can be printed on shirts.
i cut out the head of a friend of mine and i want to put it over the head of someone else but the first cutout is to big and for the life of me i cant figure out how to make it smaller.
I have Photoshop Elements 10 which I work with sparingly. I would like to outline a section of the photo (a face) and somehow select it to be the whole photo - in other words to get rid of all background elements. I can outline the area with lasso, but do not know how to just save that area. When I save, the whole original photo is saved. I also tried the magic extractor, which really worked to make just the face and crop everthing else out, but it has a white background the same size as the original photo, which means it is essentially a reactangle with a face in it. I am trying to just get the face so I can paste it into a document, sort of like when people put heads on fake bodies. This is for a church newsletter. I have done this with my old Picture It software, but that was on my old computer. I think I should be able to do this with all the gadgets Photo Shop has, but I must be missing something.
I am new to PaintDotNet, and NOT a graphics designer, so I am struggling through the "12 Tutorials in a PDF" as well as the Kindle book "Mastering PaintDotNet", but I have a problem at the moment. What I need to do is to create a template, a Wordpress Header, which has a circular cutout through which the client's logo can be seen.
Attached is a sample of the type of thing I mean, this one has square cutouts, but I need to create a circular cutout. I am aware that I can do it by creating a transparent layer, then drawing a circle and manually erasing the contents of the circle, but that is time-consuming and not very professional looking unless I zoom in to 1000% and use a small width eraser, which would take forever.
I'm trying to write a VB.Net program (Visual Studio 2010 Express) for Inventor 2012 that will add up the length of all the edges of a flat pattern including any cutouts/holes in the part. I need the total length to do an estimate on the amount of time required to cut out the pattern on a laser. How to get this info programatically in VB?

I'm a screen printer and I want to do something similar to this for shirts. I'm guessing them just take a picture and mess with the contrast and levels.
when you're deciding what size to make each photo, there starts to be a point where there is a noticeable lost of visual quality. what feature in any program (doesn't have to be adobe) can automatically enlarge the size up to a point where the visual quality is still good?
doing it manually for each photos is too inefficient.
I am trying to do a reflection in photoshop. I can do a reflection in photoshop if the picture is a straight on shot of a car. I tried to do a shot of a car that is from a front angle, but when I flip it verticle I can not get the tires to all line up. I am wondering how to get all three tires to touch each other. I have tried distorting, skewing, perspective and can not get it to work. Here is the image I have been practicing on that I found on the internet.
make a photo look like it's wrapped around a wooden frame, like on a box canvas. I'm not concerned with the canvas texture, I just want to know how I can apply an effect or an action to a single image to give it depth.
I have a photo of wood flooring that I need help with. I tried to do it on my own but I haven't been successful so now I come to you guys asking for help. What I need the photo to do is fade from left to right so that the left side is natural and it gradually fades to white as it goes to the right? Photo is a grayscale tiff.
I have a blank polaroid image and I have an image over it. but the overlaying image is too clean. Is there way to dirty it up so the edges don't look so sharp and clean and blend better with he polaroid?
I have an image it is on my computer, I am being told it nees to be larger, Hi-Res , and 300dpi. I do not know what any of that means with the exception of bigger. I do not know anything about photoshop either. Is it possible to make a photo bigger, hi res and 300 dpi?
I have a client who would like to create a banner that is 6x5 feet. She supplied me with a very high quality photo that she'd like printed on the banner. Ideally, it would fill up most of the banner. The file size of the photo is 670 mb. In Photoshop's "Image Size" window, it says that it's 12960 x 8640 pixels, 36 x 24 inches, and 360 ppi.
Is there some way to make this photo display larger, short of taking a new photo with a higher resolution? What happens if I up the resolution in the "Image Size" window?
Also wondering why this file would be 670 mb but only 36x24 inches in size... It doesn't seem to add up to me.
I am trying to make a photo like a water color. The formula I am using has me
Apply filter->Dry Brush Create New Layer Add Layer mask
Then Edit->Fill->Use Pattern->Custom Pattern
However, under 'Custom Pattern' it says select 'Gouche Light on Watercolor' but this is not an option. How do I get 'Gouche Light on Watercolor' to show up?
How do you make a photo fade to transparent in Photoshop? I am attempting to let the orange edges of the image slowly fade into the black background of the webpage.
