Description Oh, why am I so nice?

*ahem* To understand this short tutorial, you need to understand basic elements of Photoshop.

Please notice that this certainly isn't the easiest way to cut out pictures. It's just how I work to get the best results and I know that it's overly complicated.

Here are some great tutorials that you might want to refer to:
Layer masks - [link]
Pentool - [link]

Again, thanks to *faestock for the stock picture, located here: [link]

I hope that you've enjoyed the tutorial. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. And if you would like me to edit the tutorial to make it easier to read, please tell me. I'm hoping to make more in the future.

Btw, yes, it's part of an upcoming piece (if I ever finish it)

A would be appreciated to spread this around.

Hey, sorry for replying so late.
I used brightness/contrast to show the differences between the white tones better.

I have a tablet that gathers dust and I still use the polygonal lasso to cut out stuff.
Pathetic huh?
