cutting out the image

cutting out the images is a large task, but when broken down into small tasks it is not to bad. to start with you need to import the image in to paint shop pro,

the next step is to copy the image so if some thing goes wrong you can quickly go back to the origanil image

then you need to add a layer for a colour to go on. this is to make it easier for you to cut out the image



this layer needs to be colured in it lets you see what you have cut out when editing the image


the next step is to add a new layer mask this is ware you will actually be doing the editing


now we move on to the hard bit, zoom in on a section of work and select the brush tool, make shore that the layer mask is selected and that the brush is black, because the wight brush fills in the howl you cut away with the black brush


you can draw with your brush and every thing you paint green you will cut away as a helpful tip, an easy way of drawing a straight line is to draw a single dot at the start of the line and hold down shift and draw a second dot this will join up the dots



all you need to do now is to go round the hole image with the green brush




now when just the top layer is viewed all that is viable is the product in the middle and not the background or the green
