PDN Fanatics

Hi guys, im back. Sorry i havent been on. My laptop crashed and i lost the site name/url.

Anyway, im trying to make myself a signature for this Call of Duty i use. My username is Mcromley and im trying to put my username and GT on this sig. I basically wanna crop this photo that i attached and put him to the left of my sig. But im still a bit confused on what i should make the base or render [whatever you wanna call it]. Any ideas.

And can you also help me crop that image, cause im not sure how to =[

Rectangle Select the parts you want, Crop to selection.
Then resize the image to you liking.

Please use photobucket or the likes next time, and use clickable thumbnails.

Code: Select all

[url=Original image URL][img]Thumbnail image URL[/img][/url]

Nobody likes side scrolling.

Sorry for the size. But i tried that, and there is so many little squares i gotta crop. Is there a better way, i just want the person himself.

You just want the person? no background at all?
If that's so, search for "cutting out image" on the official PDN forum.

Ash, I think that may help me too.

I wanted to do a chrome gecko but using the magic wand was only partly effective. When I finished the metal & feathered, there is a faint line just off the gecko. Would the cutting out image give me a better result?

I'll try it & post results later.

Try to use the line tool to trace around the gecko (on a new layer) and when you are done, magic wand inside the line, and then go to the gecko layer, ctrl+I, and delete. Feather the gecko until it's smooth with the background. That's one method to cut out an image.
