time for another - this was submitted by Flowbee
again - if you have others to submit (from anyone) I'll be happy to accept - the collection to choose from is growing.

And for giggles - here's a link to the rules

VERY stupid question but...

How do you...cut around the image in photoshop? What tool is it? Magic wand? Any good website I can check out?

Careful use of the eraser tool. Maybe the magnetic lasso would work for this image as well.

This would almost be just as good as a caption contest...

Eraser? no no no

Masking is the proper way to cut around an image. It is completley non destructive and is much more fine tuneable.

Come on....a little more originality guys.

Such an awsome photo there is too much potential. A little creativity never hurt anyone. However I do believe I have recreated the original photo. It was changed to have him holding an mp3 player when the photo was released. ;)

I want to see someone beat this one...I know I was a little sloppy but I did this in 35 minutes.

In Photoshop CS (don't know about earlier versions) there is also an Extract tool under the Filter menu. Works pretty well once you learn how to tame it. ;)
