i just got this program, and now i am wondering how do you get the back round out of a picture could you please reply, i was wanting to get the backround out of this picture if anyone could give me any info about this that would help greatly, and i was also wondering could you change the colors of your frames on this program just to mess around and see what it would look like?

thanks

In the toolbar, right click on the tool that is in the 2nd row from the top, on the left. Choose polygonal lasso. Outline your whole quad with the tool, and double click. Right click in the selection area, and chose "select inverse". Then, right click again and hit "grow". Next, make your brush size like 400 and color over the picture. Re-select the lasso tool, right click and hit deselect.

To change the color of your frame, use the polygonal lasso tool to select your frame. Then click Image > Adjustments > Hue/Saturation. Make sure the little "Colorize" box is checked. Use the sliders to adjust the color. The bottom bar color bar (underneath Lightness you will see a rainbow-ish bar, and a solid color one underneath) will show you the current color.

lol Brian.. Too lazy to cut out the whole background? :D

[honda250xrider]

alright when i hit grow it selects everything inside of the fourwheeler to, so when i color it and hit deselect the fourwheeler is white, red what ever color i chose.

i got it this far just dont know how to add back ground to it yet could someone help me do this once i hit fill it colors over the quad :mad:

Did you hit select inverse?

[honda250xrider]

yep sure did, but when i hit select inverse and right click it again it wont come up grow so i have to go to magic wand then right click and hit grow and that is what highlights all the parts in my fourwheeler also could you tell me how to make a background

Here

Nevermind about the grow. You dont really need it, it just usually makes the selection more clean cut.

If you click and hold on the eraser icon in the toolbox, you can select the background eraser. You can tell if it works becuase when you remove the background, it shows you a dark/light grey checkered pattern behind the pic.
