4. Separating Complex Objects from Background

Tonight I didn't use a tutorial.  I worked with the magical wand to select the unwanted background, erased it and then found a new one I liked.  This is the image before the edit.  

My son, the ham, awaiting an amusement park ride a few years ago.

Here is the altered background, which I will be adding to in the next few days.  Tonight, I learned a lot about resizing and transforming while holding the shift button, as not to lose the aspect of the image.  I'm digging it!!!

Welcome!

Thanks for stopping by! 

Earlier this month, I wrapped up my Snow Globe 365 project and feel the need to keep learning and creating, so I'm teaching myself Photoshop.  I will begin this project on 1/1/12, but have already started experimenting.

Happy New Year! 

May 2012 be the brightest yet.
