hey graphics peeps --

[froggorino]

yet again, i have exhausted my personal knowledge about something, and come asking for some tips.

i have this pic of me and my business partner where we both kind of look okay. we'd like to use this pic on the ads that we are going to do on the backs of the city buses. in the background, though, is this girl's body. we'd like the background to be blank. or maybe this barn door that we have a seperate pic of.

anyone know of the quick and easy way to change or erase the background on a pic? when you use that eraser thing, it looks really bad. like, horrific.

thanks. in advance.

Hi,
I usually use Photoshop and enlarge, then cut around the undesired area, and try to post some neutral color or sample and add some neutral color.

I don't know how to use Paint, though. Good luck!

If you need it done well, send it to me at no1rockfan@gmail.com and I will edit it for you on Photoshop.

[NerfHerder]

Yes. Photoshop is your best option.

If you have to use paint, though, eraser is probably your best option. Just zoom in as close as possible and use the smallest eraser possible for the outline of the bodies and then use the big eraser to clear the rest out.

Before you go deleting anything, what state of dress is the girl's body? A little sex appeal goes a long way.

[froggorino]

the sex appeal has nothing to do with the chick's body BEHIND me. sheesh. seems like you would know better than that.

frog"unfortunately her body looks like a brick, and not in a good way"gy

ps -- thanx mere!

I do know better than that, but I figured the automatic froggorinosexappeal went without saying. My idea was like, a naked, horizontal female body with the objectionable areas covered by you and your business partner. Like in the intro to a James Bond movie, only you and your business partner instead of like guns or fire. I think that would work.

if you're gonna use paint i wouldn't really bother, photoshop or illustrator is the way to go, cut out you and your partners bodies and paste the barn door behind innit.

you could also do similar things to the girls body
