I've been putting this off for a while, but here it is: a glimpse into my messed-up way of creating images!
There's a little bit of everything here: cutting, halter removal, lighting, coloring, and text placement.

Any tips on how to do this with Photoshop Elements 7? I have, like, zero of these tools
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I've not used Elements 7 myself... I looked up the toolset to see if I could help in that respect at all.
Cutting stuff out: In the past, I've used the lasso tool for all my cutting. When you use it, make sure it's set to the free-form lasso (or whatever that's actually called O.o) the one where you can just click, hold and drag out your selection, that's the one you want. Got bit-by-bit around the object you're cutting out. In the case of a horse, lasso the nose, then the ears then small sections of the mane and so forth. Be zoomed in so you can get details. Either delete each section as you select it or (if you hold ALT - or CTRL, I don't remember off-hand which one, but one of the two - before clicking again) you can add to your selection.
Tack-removal: You have, it looks like, both the stamp tool and the healing brush. Should be fine there.
Clipping masks: No idea if you have that. If not, make a new layer (editing layer) above the one you want to affect (object layer). Don't worry about staying "inside the lines" (persay). Just pay attention to how your editing the object layer. Once you're done, click on the object layer and use the magicwand tool to select the empty area about the object. Re-click on the editing layer and hit DELETE. This will cause the same effect as a clipping mask, you just won't be able to bring back what you've deleted and will have to repeat the process if you edit the layer again.
Color editing: I have no idea what kind of tools are available to you with this area. Sorry, can't help...
That help at all? Let me know if there was something specific you wanted to know how to do, I might be able to figure out how to help you.

Hi! Thank you for this tutorial!
I was just wondering if you paint the horse to get the shadows and highlights?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, I paint on the horse (using a clipping mask and a layer set to "soft light" or "overlay" I paint black and white)

I'm having a little bit of trouble adding a border to my image like you did. It shows up but there isn't two lines. Can you help? I think I'm following the directions right...:/

excuse me...
i have a question:
on STEP 6
on the picture of layer 7 & layer 6 on my Photoshop CS3
their is no "arrow pointing down" on my layer... how do i activate it.. please...
thanks
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The arrow means they have been 'clipped' the layer they're pointing at. You can clip a layer by right clicking and clicking 'create clipping mask.' the layer will clip to the one below it (unless the one below it is clipped too, than it will clip to the same layer as the one below)
Let me know if you have any trouble
