Set up + cut out

we will first start with setting it all to make a nice cut out of this picture.



we started with this picture and we want to make it so we only got the bottle and the mint roll.

1. You start with a new document 256x256 and you open your picture, now select the picture and paste it in to the 256x 256 than you press CTRL + T and size it so it fits the whole thing.

2. now you press CTRL + SHIFT + N to create a new layer, you put this larger beneath your layer of the picture and fill the layer with black. (this is becuas you can see the outlines when you make the cut out)

3. you select the layer where the picture is on and zoom in or

4. now most people recommend lasso tool, but i recommend this tool yes you see it good, the eraser tool (E) its really good tool when you zoom in enough and you can only see the pixels.

5. now start deleting those pixels!



Transparent

Now that you got a clean cut out we will start making this of is

1. you need to delete the black background just right click on that layer and click delete layer.

2. now you will need to go to channels it can be found in the down right corner click the little icon to greate a new channel.

3. now that have created a new channel, you will need to make the other channels invisble you do this by clicking the eye in front of the channel

4. Now go back to you layer where the cut out is on, you'll see that every thing is turned black DONT BE AFRAID. hold ctrl and click the picture in front of the layer you will now see that you got everything selected

5. now make sure you got white as top colour, hold shift + F5 and a window will pop up just leave this settings like on the picture and click ok it will turn out like this

6. now save the file as a .TGA




making a picture and posting it

right click on your .TGA and add it to a .rar (i named the save cola+mintos so the it will say add to.. *cola+mintos.rar*)
You will now have to start up any game, ill be using Counter-Strike: Source.

Why not simply use the magic wand tool to cut it out. as long as you have dissimilar it works well, you can achieve a near perfect result if you refine the edges right. good job, it's a very clear tutorial with some neato pictures.


yep that and some eraser tool.
