how did you do this? did you actually have a background, or did you "cut" the rose out and put it on a black background in photoshop? if you did the latter, how on earth do you do that so clean!
I am trying to cut an object out of a photo, but it never looks clean enough!

Well, it takes patience and perseverance.

I actually used black card behind the object which makes post processing in Photoshop much easier (as you already have a plain background to work with).

That really is the trick, make your background as plain as possible and it will make for much better editing later. This applies whether you go round the entire head like I do or opt to use one of the more automatic, less precise selection tools.

Hope this helps.

I know this was not taken today, but I rediscovered it today. I took this while on a work trip in northern Minnesota.

happy new year

New to this thread, not so new to photography as it must be about 50 years ago that my father asked me to take a picture with his Rolleiflex.... However, only recently active again.
Staying at the moment in NE China celebrating the New Year at my partner's place. It's cold here but i enjoy the skating.

Appie57, I think your photo link wants a password to mac.com, because I keep getting this request for password, and no pic shows up on your post..

I know it's not much, but this is my first real post here. I hope to be posting some better photos more often, since my D80 just came in the mail.
